Bug Description

When trying the 2.6.35~lucid1 backport kernel in 10.04, the Audio device doesn't auto powerdown after a reboot.

powertop reports:

An audio device is active 100.0% of the time:
hwC0D0 Realtek ALC272X

Once I mute/unmute the audio, the device will drop into power-savings mode when unused, and powertop report 'device is active 0% of the time' when it isn't in use, and will stay this way until the next reboot.

Using the default kernel (2.6.32-24), the device properly enters power-savings mode after a reboot:
