Comment(by mkbosmans):

 The proposed patch uses the following logic to determine the paramaters of
 the combined sink:
  * if all the slave sinks have the same sample format, us it.
  * use the maximum of the slaves' samplerates.
  * if all the slaves have the same channel map use this map.
  * if sample format or channel map of the slaves differ, use the default.
  * explicitly gives parameters are of course always used.

 In this patch this logic is only applied for the case of explicitly
 defined slaves, but it is probably a good idea to do the same for the
 automatic slave list. This is easily done with some reshuffleing of the
 code.
