[Alsa-user] Broken powersave in 3.5.2, codec is always active

[ValdikSS <ia...@va...>]

Hello!
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad X220 laptop with a conexant codec and recently
(after kernel 3.5.2) it is active all the time after KDE login, as
powertop says. This couldn't be fixed by logging of from KDE or playing
some music in mplayer from console. The only kernel I tried in 3.5.x is
3.5.2, so I can't say is this bug reproducible in 3.5.0 or 3.5.1, but
everything is fine with 3.4.9. This never happens if you don't start KDE
after reboot, you can listen to some music in mplayer in console and
everything seems to be fine. lsof and fuser /dev/snd/* shows nothing.
Thank you!
