As we discussed with "Channels" what I think should show up in metadata is
a definition of what channel structures are available. The actual layout
of the parameter list depends on how many and which channels are currently
running.
Example:
define 1 "Channel Descriptor" with 10 parameters
instantiate 16 of those
Example:
define 1 "Channel Descriptor" with 6 parameters
define 1 "Channel Descriptor" with 10 parameters
define 1 "Channel Descriptor" with 116 parameters
instantiate 1 of each
The channel structure belongs in metadata, but the parameters list is
still dynamic.
