Hmm. My thought here was that it is not obvious from the code
that we only have channel 0 and channel 1.  The if statement
kind of implies that channel 0 is special compared to 'all the other'
elements where as what we are actually doing is picking from
a set of options. So semantically it's a switch statement being
implemented as an if else pair ;)

Perhaps we can compromise on the addition of a comment on the else
case to say it only applies to channel 1?

Dan, what do you think?

It isn't particularly important either way though so feel free to
just drop this one.
