I'd expect so given that it's explicitly an override and that it's not
like it's unknown for people to put nonsense in ID information.

Presumably we should tell the CODEC what we're trying to play (looks
like that's what the current code does)?

My first thought would be that we'd always read whatever is there
rather than trying to make something up, bypass just says we're not
enforcing it.

Or given what I just said above should we not change any get_eld() calls
but instead only change things so that we don't look at the ELD data
when setting constraints during startup() and during channel map
operations?  In that case we wouldn't need to read again.
