Obviously. Why do you need these? What problem does it solve?

I don't think these belong in simple-card. What's next? What if you need 
delays between each step? This is the problem with 'simple' or 'generic' 
bindings. It's a never ending addition of properties which are not well 
thought out.

Why do you need a value of 'default'? What's the default when the 
property is not present?

Don't continue this 'simple-audio-card,' prefix pattern. With it, no 
other binding can use these properties.
