Do we really need to be that strict?
If something compatible to D1 pops up in the future, just with a different
number of channels, we would need a new compatible string.
If we would leave this else branch out, we could just specify some
number differing from the default, and be good.
The number of channels really looks like a parameter to the IP, it's
modelled like this in the manual (PCR: 0x0100 + 0x0000 + N * 0x0020).
