Is a fair point. Originally I was saving the state of registers then
re-instating them at the end, which worked fine, but then was trying to be
clever and tidy things up by bypassing the cache instead. Will revert back to
the previous method.

I can envisage in a system you may want to choose which capture channels can
trigger level detection (if any), and this may change depending on the use-case
at the time, so having it as a control makes sense to me.

I figured it made more sense to have the device start with audio routes disabled
but I can remove this as it's really not essential.
