In the current implementation, this doesn't matter because the front
panel has no capability of multi-io.  The multi-io is enabled only
when all jacks are located in the same place.  On the front panel,
there are only two.

But it's a thing to be considered in future if we'll need to extend
such retasking functionalities more generically.
