Subject: UCM/DAPM - saving power when idle?
Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:39:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50925145.4070706@canonical.com> (raw)
I don't deal much with ASoC, so sorry if I'm missing something obvious
here...
When a certain use case is activated, that would then activate some DAPM
widgets, causing the codec to consume more power. So, we should
essentially avoid this unless we're actually playing back/recording.
But, why isn't there a "disable all use cases" command, or possibly an
"idle" command? (That, essentially, e g pulseaudio should set whenever
playback/recording stops)
Or; the option would be that the codec is actually powered down, but
only activates itself when there is a stream; but this looks like it
could cause problem with loopback paths (e g listening to FM radio,
where there are no streams passing through CPU/main memory).
