At the moment, the DirectPlay flag is not being obeyed/considered when initiating Mobile Sync. Please consider adding a feature that passes this to the sync back end in order to avoid huge amount of CPU burn despite the user having specified that their device can handle the content regardless of what the capability auto-detection may think.
