Doing that sort of thing automatically is probably best handled by
having some actual concrete idea of what's on the link and how it's
sharing the resources which we don't really have in detail right now -
we loose track of TDM when things hit the link and can't do things like
notice that only two timeslots are active even though the link could
have eight and so end up powering more than we need to.  What I'd like
to be able to do is to trace the individual per-channel and per-stream
audio paths over the link, I think multiple configurations would fall
out of being able to do that though I don't have a terribly concrete
idea for a design right now (I sort of have one but it's got a lot of
handwaving in it and isn't really concrete enough to write down).
