Speaker output being turned off with screen blank?

After playing around with EsounD the other night I noticed that when
the framebuffer screen blank activates it causes the Speaker output to
be turned off until the screen is activated again.  The headphone
output is still fine.  After a quick look I noticed a few things:

from linux-2.6.x/drivers/video/ndsfb.c:469

static int ndsfb_blank(int blank_mode, struct fb_info *info)
{
        if (blank_mode) {
                //POWER_CR &= ~ ( POWER_2D | POWER_2D_SUB |
POWER_LCD_TOP | POWER_LCD_TOP ) ;
                POWER_CR &= ~(POWER_LCD_TOP | POWER_LCD_TOP);
        } else {
                POWER_CR |=
                    (POWER_2D | POWER_2D_SUB | POWER_LCD_TOP | POWER_LCD_TOP);
        }
        return 0;
}


>From linux-2.6.x/include/asm/arch-nds/power.h:

#define POWER_CR       (*(volatile u16*)0x04000304)

#define POWER_LCD_TOP    (1<<0)
#define POWER_2D         (1<<1)
#define POWER_MATRIX     (1<<2)
#define POWER_3D_CORE    (1<<3)
#define POWER_LCD_BOTTOM (1<<8)
#define POWER_2D_SUB     (1<<9)
#define POWER_SWAP_LCDS  (1<<15)

Is it just me or is POWER_LCD_TOP being sent to both cpu's?  I'm
pretty sure this is where the problem lies.
