+// A row per profile rather than a cycling button: there are three, and cycling
+// through them means passing through one you did not want on a machine where
+// the change is immediate and audible. The same shape the audio device lists

+// The daemon owns the profile -- it survives a shell restart and anything else
+// on the system can change it -- so this reads back rather than assuming, the
