I don't think you've fully understood my suggestion, or what's involved
in much more refactoring.  I can't fully recall the context since it's
been several months since the discussion came up but I suspect the thing
here is that the widgets are mostly a function of the DAPM context so if
we share the context we share the widgets and don't end up creating
multiple copies.

Why would we need to dynamically allocate anything here?  The DAIs
should all be owned by something (the CODEC or, now, the component).
