That's not the reason - what's happening with the stream events is that
since these links are not on the edge of the DAPM graph we don't need to
interface with the outside world.  Further since we're not dealing with
the application layer there is no need to delay the power down, the
reason that's there is to stop us powering the link down if there's just
a small gap between tracks so we don't get pops, clicks and extra gaps
if the application layer is closing the device at the end of every track
(which is quite a common pattern).
