Completely agree , load is always required for d class amplifiers, whose have output filter .But i think load can be reduced (more ohms dummy load than normal), to reduce heat / energy and so , still having amplifier operating properly.
These simple adapters draw maybe 2 watts, so what's the issue with having them plugged in?
As for me, mine's plugged into the accessory AC on my stereo receiver, so the power supply (wall wart) is on whenever the receiver is on.
I hope that answers your questions.
That would better be answered by op , what setup it has , and what's acceptable and whats not for him. Personally i'm disappointed in many devices high consumption of standby or idle , also we had big jump in electricity prices , so who knows, sometimes every watt can matter ,if there's lots of devices, always plugged in . Also always plugged in things may fail easier , if there's power failure like overvoltage.
Everyone has its own way for solution of existing problem.

Always is definitely wrong , you missed the class-D amps with post-filter feedback like the Hypex. These are nearly immune to load variations and stable without any load. At the moment I have an Hypex NCore 250MP on the test bench showing this behaviour.
Ok , you're right , i'm not familiar with these. But in TV's amplifiers there's no post feedback in analog form , because these amplifier itself have digital inputs.
Better keep some load for amplifier to be safe i think .

FYI, not all televisions with an optical digital audio output have volume control on that output.
