hi dapm developers,

I have a question about "playback_widget".

Nobody gives me right answer, so email the question to devel maillist.

I am sorry to disturb you and thanks for your explain

Question:

my machine driver export two pcm devices, eg. "pcm0", "pcm1".

Open the "pcm0" for Playback, just active AIF3 playback_widget "AIF3 Playbck".

at same time，one path of pcm1 is also power on。

the path is “Headset Mic -> IN3R -> AIF1TX Input 1 -> AIF1TX Mixer -> AIF1TX -> AIF1 Playbck -> AIF1RX1 -> Headphone Input 1 -> Headphone Mixer -> Headphone”

my question is "the widgets of the path should be powered or not ?"

I guess that the path should not be powered, because "pcm1" is not open, all paths of it should not be actvie.

Maybe I am wrong， but let me known.

Thank you very much!
