silenty clamped to the hardware driver supported range. This artificially
limits the driver chosen link bits-per-channel which may be useful for working
around sink hardware (e.g. monitor) limitations. The default is 16 which is
practically unlimited. If you need to work around hardware issues, try a lower
value like 8.
