ASoC has its own power management stuff which doesn't *quite* map onto
this one as-is. The power determination stuff is essentially identical
(and this is actually nicer) but we have a separate postprocessing stage
that actually applies the changes in a sequence which minimises audible
issues caused by doing things in a bad order (eg, power down a PGA
before you turn off inputs). This is noddy enough to implement, though
- we just need a pre and post run notifications to set up and implement
the changes I think.

BTW, I notice you've not CCed the ALSA list, Liam, Takashi or Jaroslav
on any of this - might be good.
