After we've done the ramp and turned the amplifier off we can just
restore the desired value?  The hardware is not going to care what the
volume is while it's not enabled.

Perhaps they should be updated too?

So that's a property of the driver then?

Yes, that's the usual reason to ramp gains.  Though if you've just
copied the code without checking that it's needed it's possible that
this is something that's been fixed in current hardware.
