Since I asked this question I'll now answer it.  The Topfield can't be 
woken up by way of the USB interface.  When it goes to standby it 
disconnects from the USB host and so you can't do anything until it's 
manually re-awoken.

This is a real pain from the PoV of trying to control it automatically. 
  It would be a really major improvement to the box if this could be fixed.
