[alsa-devel] amp power down event (resend with the correct email)

[Peter Ujfalusi]

Hi,

it is a good practice to CC the maintainers to get the attention (in this case 
Liam and Mark)..

This is turned on or off by the DAPM power sequences.
Take a look at the sound/soc/soc-dapm.c, and at the beginning of the file, you 
can see the on and off sequences.
Generally:
The DAPM_SPK widget will be powered on last, and powered down first, or early to 
avoid the pop coming from other widget powering.

What do you mean? User space will not receive such an event, this is ASoC 
internal (specifically DAPM doing it's thing).
The some seconds you see is most likely 5 seconds, which is the soc delay for 
going lower power state after the stream has been stopped, or the loopback is 
closed.
