| No, that's never been the case - ASoC has always handled full power path

I'm thinking about Vref driver impedence for example, unless I am
suffering from false memory syndrome this is managed as I described,
such that we are at 500K impedence when using only analogue paths.

How does the power management of the amp improve by DAPM then, just the
sequencing during suspend and resume?
