        <pre>It would be nice to be able to optionally switch profiles automatically based
on the number of channels being played out. This requires a few pieces:

1. Detecting how many channels are actually supported: picking this information
from ELD for HDMI would be nice

2. Overriding via settings: since ELD can and (afaik) does lie, we should make
this an opt-in feature, and also allow user-provided overrides

3. We can then potentially have policy to switch profiles on a card based on
supported channels

(1) and (2) would be generally useful for passthrough as well (detecting what
compressed formats are supported by the receiver).</pre>
