FAkAudioDevice::Get() is inefficient in UE4

Question

Method FAkAudioDevice::Get() checks whether AkAudio module is loaded, and then if is loaded, tries to load it again(?!). This is a problem, since this method is called in AkComponent's tick.

It seems to me that heavy 'FModuleManager::LoadModulePtr<FAkAudioModule>(AkAudioName)' should be replaced with 'FModuleManager::GetModulePtr<FAkAudioModule>(AkAudioName)'.
