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

[Ed McNierney]

Tiago -

Thanks, please do put that into trac.

Folks, in general it's time to start filling up trac.  If you find  
anything odd and it's not readily fixed through a quick inquiry,  
please open a trac ticket for it.  We're moving into the 1.5 endgame  
process and trac will be the main tool we'll use to know when we're  
done.  Please do not expect anyone to remember any problem you report  
if it's not in trac.  Thanks for all the help.

	- Ed
