Basically for mono (center panned) content you'll get a slight high frequency rolloff (4dB or so at Nyquist = 24kHz), and hard panned content will sound fine with no distortion.

Fair enough, I guess, though it's pretty arbitrarily given the existing quirk tables.
I think the point is the kernel shouldn't be doing format conversions, which have a high CPU cost. All the existing quirks are about metadata/control, not formats.

Hmm. Maybe. Still not seeing how it's less expensive to do the operation in userland. Outcome for the user is certainly better if we do it in kernel, just from less effort involved. If you want to backdoor this with hype, just add an ebpf hook with quirkable defaults.

Doing such work in kernelspace often makes it non-interruptible, may have latency implications for other stuf, etc. Also userspace is often doing conversions *anyway* which means you can amortize channel swaps, often for free.
