Well, since roles are always being stripped prior to applying them, the only reason a role would fail to be added is if we fail to allocate a datastore for it. So yeah, it's always going to be an allocation failure unless something important changes.

I discussed this very thing with Matt Jordan and he said that since there are currently no situations where multiple roles matter that we should just have this as a singular option for now.

That discussion was part of what prompted the conversation about the allowMultiple property actually. I'm certainly down with making multiple roles possible.

> Some bridges/bridge technology observe a property on channels known as bridge roles. Bridge roles can affect the flow of media in a bridge. One example of this is that the holding bridge technology has two roles at the moment, those being 'holding_participant' and 'announcer'. If no role is specified on channels entering that bridge, they are automatically holding participants and just hear music on hold (or other entertainment options if they are set via role options, but that doesn't apply to ARI yet).

Prior to the addition of this option, there was no way to add a channel to a holding bridge as an announcer through ARI. Now you can do cool things like this:
