My personal use case is a combination of my previous plugin and this one. If Pithos is running and playing music I don't want my screensaver starting and if it does start(because I have locked my screen manually), to have the music pause. This is so I can have music while am working at the machine and not stopped if I walk away for a bit, but can still manually lock the screen and have the music pause. I would also use this plugin to implement a "party mode" when I want Pithos full screen and screensaver disabled. Now that you mention power management, true, you may not want to enable this on battery(I would since I would almost always manually lock screen or pause playback when I walk away from my laptop) and actually I am not sure this will stop the power manager from shutting down the display even with the screensaver disabled. Do they work independently with power manager trumping screensaver??
