Romain could probably tell us when a switch is checked.
Or we could run some tests. I suspect it is pretty frequently.
I think part of the discussion would be "what is the next song in that
case?"
If the switch is to a live show or a time/weather announcement, one would
probably want it to happen immediately.
If it was just music, then you might want to let one song finish before the
switch.
