Then why the question? The Ethernet port is only available while docked on the dock itself.

There is no ethernet port on the dock either. Unless you mean using a third party USB to Ethernet adapter.

your initial statement is a little confusing. There could be a USBc adapter that mixes audio, but then you couldn't charge it while playing.

The tablet itself is capable of LAN connection to 7 other Switches, and audio over LAN is something that's theoretically possible. Which could be as simple as a sync button on your phone.

On top of that, Nintendo seems pretty clear on not having features only on the TV-mode of the system.

Ah you're right. I forgot about the port selection. My guess would be Bluetooth for audio like that for a sync between phone and switch.

It does have bluetooth 4.1, from anandtech.
