This means that you can keep your receiver set in a stereo mode, but when you have content that the receiver can decode natively (e.g. ac3) then it will be passed verbatim to the receiver. This will sadly mean that only that single stream can be played, but that's the trade-off for passthrough! However, when dealing with analog content, it may make sense to automatically pick the right profile. However, this is a very complicated thing. e.g. on some h/w enabling 5.1 output will disable input. There also is simply not the metadata available to do this just now. We do not know from looking at profiles how many channels there are on the sink or sinks created by activating that profile. So there are both conceptual and logistical problems with this approach. I think it might make more sense to simply allow disabling of upmixing when attaching at 2ch stream to a 6ch sink. That way you'd keep things in 6ch profile all the time but let the receiver do the upmixing itself.
