I've used tosa board as an example. 
Maybe I've done something wrong but when I play sound files, both amplifier
are powered together.
After playing this track, both amplifier are shutdown together.

As it should be an audio path problem, I detail you my audio path here : 
 - 1 SND_SOC_DAPM_MIXER is connected to 2 SND_SOC_DAPM_PGA with power
control.
 - each PGA is connected to an SND_SOC_DAPM_OUTPUT
 - according to tosa example : 
    - first OUTPUT is connected to a SND_SOC_DAPM_HP defined as endpoint
    - second OUTPUT is connected to a SND_SOC_DAPM_SPK defined as endpoint
this SPK is set disconnected in my tosa_ac97_init -like function

Using DPAM debug traces, I've notice that both PGAs are powered regardless
of their ON/OFF status.
