Ok. I'll start implementing that then. :)

Yes and no. A back end specifies its channel map during creation, so 
it's static during its lifetime. But we identify the back end using a 
name, so it is possible that "our" back end could get removed and 
another loaded with the same name.

It is possible to get notifications when this happens though, so we can 
handle this gracefully.

Something that Polypaudio itself is probably guilty of. ;)
