Max codecs supported can be 32, which is also a very high number. At max the
hardware supports 5-6 codecs, including both decoder and encoder. 64 indices is
would not be needed.

The addition of the encoder and decoder should be 32. Any combination which adds
to it, would go through. For ex, (17 dec + 15 enc) OR (32 dec + 0 enc) OR (0 dec
+ 32 enc) etc are valid combination theoretically, though there are only few
decoders and encoders actually supported by hardware.
