Not really - you can have bypass paths that don't touch the AP but which
will have the power cut if the AP goes into suspend and it can be a
system integration decision which components that will be true for.
Often it's an inflexible PMIC/MCU setup managing the lowest system power
states.  The pure low power audio bit we should already be able to
figure out.
