That's something that makes me feel bit uneasy as well, it seems that
the stereo format is really something associated with a mode. Note
that the set_property() only stores the new value and it's taken into
account the next time a mode is set.
I'm not quite sure how to improve on this. The alternatives I can
think about would break the current user space.
