Getting back to passing in a format/profile that the USB BE doesn't
support. It looks like ASoC doesn't actually check against the PCM HW
params received (for components), so the audio playback does still occur
even though its outside of what we support.

Will need to add changes to specifically check for # of channels,
format, etc... before we allow the session to proceed.

Thanks
