<pre>The blocked pulseaudio seemed to finally exit.
So interestingly enough I started pulseaudio with debug logging and it's stuck
at:
D: [pulseaudio] alsa-mixer.c: Looking at profile output:hdmi-stereo
D: [pulseaudio] alsa-mixer.c: Checking for playback on Digital Stereo (HDMI)
(hdmi-stereo)
D: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: Trying hdmi:2 with SND_PCM_NO_AUTO_FORMAT ...
and blocked again. Seems like the HDMI theory is correct.
But when I did start it above, the screen didn't go into locked or sleep mode.
It seems like the HDMI is just blocking even when the laptop is being used.
I did an xset -dpms and ended up having to walk away and by the time I got
back, it had unblocked.
That all said, this is the first time in all the time (many many months) I have
used this laptop that this has happened so it's strange that it'd happen just
this once.</pre>
