But /sys/class/sound/card0/device is just a symlink for
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0 - is this not the PCI device you're
talking about?

Anyway, power/runtime_status is always active, and power/usage_count is
always 1. (And pulseaudio is not running, and nothing else is using any
/dev/snd/* files.)

I guess I could test that, but I doubt it would help...

Ok. I currently have nothing Ivybridge to check with.
