On the gfx side at least, we can get a hotplug event via ACPI (depending on the OEM design) if displays are attached/detached while the dGPU is powered down. I suppose the gfx driver could call into the audio driver during one of those events. On the gfx side at least we just generate the gfx hotplug event and let userspace deal with it.
