yeah, but it's *your* case, e.g. you're the only one so far :)

The defaults are:

        @args.AES0 {
                type integer
                # consumer, not-copyright, emphasis-none, mode=0
                default 0x04
        }
        @args.AES1 {
                type integer
                # original, PCM coder
                default 0x82
        }
        @args.AES2 {
                type integer
                # source and channel
                default 0x00
        }
        @args.AES3 {
                type integer
                # fs=48000Hz, clock accuracy=1000ppm
                default 0x02
        }
