The symptoms were slightly different on our custom board which uses a TLV320AIC3107 codec :
After every cold boot the system would take ~7 seconds to start recording. Recording a second time just after the first time would behave normally (without delay).
This delay was because the ADC (audio input) starts working when the volts reach 1.35V (common mode) on the ADC. But a 10uF series capacitor was delaying the ramp-up by 7 seconds. Reducing the capacitor size changed the delay to something more reasonable (ms range).
This "issue" is described in the TLV320AIC3107 codec under "INPUT IMPEDANCE AND VCM CONTROL" the 2nd paragraph. (they also offer a workaround but this was not of a practical use in our case).
Thanks for the info.
