That's not exactly true - the way Windows handles audio devices (which
follow a similar pattern) is to register the control interfaces of the
individual components of the system using existing bindings and then
bind them together with a driver that matches the board level
identification.  This isn't super awesome but it's definitely a thing
you can do.
