It would be interesting to know from Judy if there's a reason we never
turn the audio codec rails off. Maybe there's history that I'm not
aware of? Matthias or Mengqi might also have ideas of how much power
is at stake here?

Ah, searching through the ChromeOS bug tracker finds some hits. At
this point we should probably move the discussion off the lists and
bring it back to the lists when we have some results. Unfortunately
most of the bugs are not public and so having a discussion here is
just noise for most people CCed.
