Practically speaking we already have ordering restrictions - in general
you need to do a teardown followed by a setup otherwise there's a good
chance of causing audible noise from the switching during the setup.
Like Lars says we do run the event immediately anyway since the register
update is buried in DAPM processing for exactly this reason, we're
trying to avoid introducing a sudden DC offset by switching to/from an
active output so we see if we can power things down before we touch
anything.
