Techniques for controlling one or more audio amplifiers in or associated with a device coupled on a local area network are disclosed. An example playback device includes a processor, an amplifier, a network interface, and a memory. The memory includes a software module that, when executed by the processor, causes the playback device to: operate in a first power mode in which the amplifier consumes a first amount of power; while operating in the first power mode, determine that a defined time has passed since receiving, via the network interface, a specified type of data packet; and based on determining that the defined time has passed since receiving the specified type of data packet, transition from operating in the first power mode to operate in a second power mode in which the amplifier consumes a second amount of power, wherein the first amount of power is greater than the second amount of power.

1. A playback device comprising: a network interface; andtangible, non-transitory, computer-readable memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the playback device, cause the playback device to perform functions comprising:operating in a first power mode in which the playback device consumes a first amount of power;while operating in the first power mode, receiving one or more data packets addressed to the playback device via the network interface, and determining that the one or more received data packets comprises audio data;after determining that the one or more received data packets comprises audio data, transitioning from operating in the first power mode to operating in a second power mode in which the playback device consumes a second amount of power, wherein the second amount of power is greater than the first amount of power;while operating in the second power mode, determining that a defined time has passed since receiving non-audio data; andafter determining that the defined time has passed since receiving the non-audio data, transitioning from operating in the second power mode to operating in the first power mode. 2. The playback device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the data packets is a data packet received from an audio source. 3. The playback device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the data packets is a data packet relating to an audio source. 4. The playback device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the data packets comprises audio data received from an audio source. 5. The playback device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the data packets is one packet of a stream of packets comprising audio data received from an audio source. 6. The playback device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the data packets comprises control information relating to an audio stream. 7. The playback device of claim 1, wherein transitioning from operating in the second power mode to operating in the first power mode comprises reducing power supplied to an amplifier of the playback device. 8. The playback device of claim 1, wherein operating in the first power mode comprises shutting off power to an amplifier of the playback device. 9. Tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions encoded therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by a playback device, cause the playback device to perform functions comprising: operating in a first power mode in which the playback device consumes a first amount of power;while operating in the first power mode, receiving one or more data packets addressed to the playback device via a network interface of the playback device, and determining that the one or more received data packets comprises audio data;after determining that the one or more received data packets comprises audio data, transitioning from operating in the first power mode to operating in a second power mode in which the playback device consumes a second amount of power, wherein the second amount of power is greater than the first amount of power;while operating in the second power mode, determining that a defined time has passed since receiving non-audio data; andafter determining that the defined time has passed since receiving the non-audio data, transitioning from operating in the second power mode to operating in the first power mode. 10. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 9, wherein at least one of the data packets is a data packet received from an audio source. 11. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 9, wherein at least one of the data packets is a data packet relating to an audio source. 12. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 9, wherein at least one of the data packets comprises audio data received from an audio source. 13. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 9, wherein at least one of the data packets is one packet of a stream of packets comprising audio data received from an audio source. 14. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 9, wherein at least one of the data packets comprises control information relating to an audio stream. 15. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 9, wherein transitioning from operating in the second power mode to operating in the first power mode comprises reducing power supplied to an amplifier of the playback device. 16. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 9, wherein operating in the first power mode comprises shutting off power to an amplifier of the playback device. 17. A method performed by a playback device, the method comprising: operating in a first power mode in which the playback device consumes a first amount of power;while operating in the first power mode, receiving one or more data packets addressed to the playback device via a network interface of the playback device, and determining that the one or more received data packets comprises audio data;after determining that the one or more received data packets comprises the audio data, transitioning from operating in the first power mode to operating in a second power mode in which the playback device consumes a second amount of power, wherein the second amount of power is greater than the first amount of power;while operating in the second power mode, determining that a defined time has passed since receiving non-audio data; andafter determining that the defined time has passed since receiving the non-audio data, transitioning from operating in the second power mode to operating in the first power mode.
