The behaviour there is identical before and after this patch?  This is
something I want to improve, though the benefit is relatively small so
it's not bubbled up to the top of my priority list yet.

The only thing this is changing is what gets to make the decision about
powering up the amplifier and when exactly that happens, if there are
other issues (which you haven't reported!) it's not going to affect them.

The sequencing is improved in general (and will be able to benefit from
further improvements in the sequencing as they happen) and the amp power
state is now managed automatically so it'll be powered off when not in
use without manual intervention from applications (which is especially
useful for the digital paths).
