If I use an audio board like this? Can I no longer power the Pi using the GPIO pins? (learn.adafruit.com)

See title. I'm thinking of picking this up to power a pair of speakers but am currently powering my Pi using the GPIO pins. If I install this, will I no longer be able to power the Pi that way? Will I have to use the MicroUSB?

That 3x3 grid to the left is marked 5v/3v/GND. Can you not use those?

Yep, I saw that eventually and on the schematic there are traces connecting them to the correct gpio pins on the pi
