I will second Curtis' request for clarifications.

I naively thought that modifiers would be used to e.g. select a 'Deep
Buffer' output for low-power playback, or different capture streams
based on the needs of the applications. It's not uncommon for capture
applications to request different PCM streams for raw, AEC processed,
AEC+NS processed data.

Echo reference is not really something that varies based on any
qualifiers. And specifically in the Chrome case we want userspace to
open the PCM echo reference device whenever the playback is used. So
it's not really a use-case dependent thing but more a way to express a
dependency between PCM devices.
