No, that's never been the case - ASoC has always handled full power path
management.  If there is a complete path from a connected input to a
connected output then that path will be powered up - if this weren't the
case none of the paths in the codec would be powered for your bypass
paths so there would be nothing for the speaker to amplify.

The handling of the digital streams provides automatic power managment
for the DACs and ADCs so that their paths aren't powered when they
aren't in use.
