What's the use case where this might get > triggered? The case being fixed is like this: aplay 48kHz.wav; aplay 96kHz.wav The second open happens before pmdown_time so the AIF is still enabled. Writes to the AIF config registers only take effect if the AIF is disabled. Without this patch, the 96kHz.wav will play at 48kHz
