Comment(by coling):

 Yeah, at present (I think this is correct) PA only probes for one output
 and one input simultaneously. What you're asking for is to probe for and
 test multiple outputs at the same time - e.g. two outputs + two input
 during probe (which would increase the number of tests performed and thus
 the startup time).

 It will of course make the list of profiles longer :D

 Perhaps we need to start saving this data in a db Lennart? Obviously it
 needs to be protected in some way against being blocked by other apps
 during the testing phase to ensure the accuracy of the cached result...
 which would be a pain :(
