FYI that is DAPM powering down the amp. You'll here a light pop when that
happens.

It is not that the DAC is not pushing data, it's just the internal headphone
amp needs some time to charge up. So this patch basically adds a delay before
sound is actually pushed out, thereby preventing any sound from being silently
dropped. It doesn't help with the pop on power down though, and the latency
might not be that great.
I wonder if we shouldn't just keep the amplifier section powered up
all the time.
Also it seems not very many codec drivers go all out with DAPM.
Mark, any suggestions on the matter?
