Ah, OK.  In that case the issue is likely to be that no connection has
been made between the audio interface and the outputs desired - probably
some routing control needs to be enabled by userspace.  If there's no
visible path between a source of audio (like playback from the CPU) and
a sink (such as an output) then the framework will think there's nothing
to do.

Indeed, and if the routing isn't set up to connect an audio path the
core will not bother powering it on at all.  The issue with the UDA134x
is that we need to give the framework the information that the playback
interfaces are connected to an output (or restore the code to do this in
the core but at this point since it's all data driven now in the drivers
it's easier and more robust to just plumb them in and avoid having to
deal with special cases which keep tripping us up).
