+NOTE
+
+The commented out code below was my first attempt to extract the "native" channel count and sample rate of
+a device. Essentially what it's doing is probing each device by creating stream, connecting it, and then
+querying the chosen channels and rate. This was a complete fail because there's what I consider to be a bug
+somewhere in the PipeWire/ALSA pipeline. I have S/PDIF device with no device actually physically connected
+to it. When I probe that device, the system volume for the entire operating system will suddenly go full
+blast. This is clearly not something that can be shipped so I've had to comment out this code. I'm leaving
+it here more as a reference and a reminder.
+
+This can be replicated from the OS itself without needing to run a program. In my case, if I switch the
+default device to the S/PDIF device, and then back to my headphones, everything goes full volume and your
+ears will get blown out.
