Well, my upstream connection is 20Mbit or something, that's a limit :P

More seriously there's not that many devices and not much use of the
properties API yet so no concrete users; it's three audio CODECs that
I'm aware of which should use it and are in tree now so probably
actually a reasonable thing to throw out there for people to have a look
at.  Liam, do you think some of the Intel audio people could look into
the code side?  I'm tempted to send at least one document myself for
pipe cleaning purposes.
