With respect to what _most_ users want, we should use SPDIF and ignore
I2S. Consumer audio fits well into SPDIF and we get pass-through, which
we loose on I2S.

I2S _can_ support more than two channels, but only if you wire up more
DATA lines. Those are not available on Dove, so its I2S is limited to
two channel audio.

The CuBox is simply not designed for HBR or multi-channel PCM, it is a
_consumer_ settop box replacement.
