This is based on the fact that soc_pcm_prepare calls
snd_soc_dapm_stream_event(..., SND_SOC_DAPM_STREAM_START) before
snd_soc_dapm_set_bias_level(..., SND_SOC_BIAS_ON).

In addition there is a block of code in tlv320aic3x.c that explicitly disables
the ADC/DAC in SND_SOC_BIAS_OFF. It may be superfluous, though.

This function takes a bitmask of the desired power state of the ADC/DAC blocks
and configures the device accordingly. It returns a bitmask of the previous
power state, suitable for input.
