Well, it is good, and bad.
It behaves mostly OK, but there's a strange side effect:
I noticed a pop on playback stream start on the twl4030 codec.
I'll look into it, but I do not see how this patch can affect the stream start..
Could you hold this patch for some time, so I can look at this?

Thanks,
