Do you mean "ACPI" maybe?

This usually means you don't have power management enabled.  It's not
Linux specific.  For example if you follow the recommendation on many
Windows audio web sites and install with the "Standard PC" HAL instead
of the "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" then you get the same behavior (PC will
not power itself down, you have to turn it off).

Enabling either APM or ACPI should do it.  But, keep in mind that
enabling power management has caused latency problems in the past.  It's
possible that these issues are solved with a recent kernel.
