You can just set idle_bias_off in the CODEC and then the core will push
you down into _BIAS_OFF.

Moving the playback related configuration into events on the DAC widgets
(or probably a supply connected to the DAC widgets) seems like a good
move for a lot of these scenarios?  The core will then take care of
ensuring that the startup sequence for the playback is called for you
and the states can do what they're supposed to more directly.
