It can make a difference to memory usage - if multiple CODEC drivers are
built in but only one is in use then if we take a copy all the defaults
can be discared, meaning that we don't need to keep the defaults for the
unused drivers and only keep the defaults for the one that's in use
instead of keeping the defaults for all drivers.
