Just for the record I've now done an implementation of this which should
show up in -next when it's rebuilt and 2.6.35.  It's not the most
thoroughly tested code I've ever written but I'm fairly happy it'll do
the right thing, especially for analogue basebands.  The functionality
needs to be explicitly requested by machine drivers so there should be
no impact on systems using suspend in a more standard fashion.

This means that there should be even less of an issue merging this from
an audio point of view.
