XO-1 Build 802 doesn't turn off speaker amplifier

[Tiago Marques]

Thanks for looking into it. I didn't had to place my hear next to the
speaker, I noticed noise coming out one day while working on it late
at night. The lack of ambient noise made it pop out.
So... 120 to 360mW. Seems worth pursuing. Should I submit the trac ticket?

Best regards,
Tiago Marques
