It seems like there should be a box that takes 4-8 stereo sources and automatically outputs the strongest one.
Not only are traditional analog audio components a dime a dozen now, there are several incongruent smart home audio systems, music server systems, computer systems, TV systems, game systems, phone systems, and probably more... that you might want to run through one set of speakers automatically. Modern companies don't want to work together or do anything to international standards. They'd have us owning a mushroom patch of speakers, 2 from every company, repurchased every 2 years. It makes sense to defeat them with new switching tech.
A "Smart Switch", if you will.
