Hi;

I am sorry for the vagueness of the questions, but now that i have some understanding of how these files are supposed to work i want to get this right!

to support 4.0/5.1/7.1 for the vt1618 codec i have to change a different set of twiddlers than what is called out in the current version of the conf file.

worse yet, the twiddlers called out in the current file dont even *exist* on the vt1618:

{ name "Surround Down Mix" preserve true value off lock true optional true } { name "Center/LFE Down Mix" preserve true value off lock true optional true }

The "optional true" line means that this control is set up only when it exists. If not present, simply ignored.

How do i add new stuff without breaking old stuff? is there a sub-identity that i could use?

You can add your controls similarly with "optional true" (assume they are unique).
