As well as being able to reorder things there's also the cases where a multi-channel link can be assigned to send several independant streams rather than actually be a multi-channel link.
True. OTOH, separating to different streams can be done mostly without extra configuration. The driver may neeed to handle the open/close race, but basically splitting can be done uniquely just by the number of channels. Of course, there might be other excpetions and corner cases, though.
Yes, I think it's mostly just a slight generalisation of the same problem from an implementation point of view.
