Oops, I was right the first time and sloppy in what I just wrote. Rather
than make the channel count default to the UA's guess of the speaker
configuration, I think we can have the best of both worlds by making the
DestinationNode channelCountMode default to "max" and ensure the UA
downmixes that to the user's speaker configuration as necessary. That way,
Web Audio behavior as observed by Web applications does not default to
depending on the user's speaker configuration. But on the other hand, a Web
Audio application can produce surround sound just by sending 6 channels to
the DestinationNode, without having to do anything else. This will be
particularly helpful when the UA's speaker configuration changes
dynamically.
