Perhaps if you were to share the logging someone might spot something,
or perhaps if you thought about the logging in more detail...

Your analysis does not appear to correspond to the code.  The DAPM
context is being used to find the card here, not the other way around as
you say.  How have we managed to get an active DAPM context which isn't
part of a card?

So if you've tested this and found that this is not related to having
widgets in the card what is making you continually mention that you
don't have widgets in the card?  Having no widgets outside the CODEC is
totally normal.
