=== General Usage ===
The audio player shows transport and other configuration controls and draws a waveform image. Start playback by changing the transport from "stopped" to "playing". Playback position is indicated by a vertical line on the waveform and the "position" controller value (in seconds). Playback position can be adjusted. One-shot or loop playback is available. Selection of which channel in the audio file (or a mix of all odd / even channels) is sent to each output, e.g. for a 4 track audio file you may select any of the four tracks to feed left or right output or select mixdown to mix tracks 1 & 3 to left output and 2 & 4 to right output. There is also a gain control.

The audio player also has a controller to control the audio recorder. Each time the "record" controller is asserted a new recording is started which may be ended by resetting the "record" controller. This is the same audio recorder accessible from the mixer's main mixbus options menu.

=== Audio Recording Output Config ===
There is a configuration in webconf to enable multitrack audio recording. If this is enabled then there is an extra option in the audio options within each chain's options menu to toggle "Recording Primed". With none of these enabled, the audio recorder will record will be a stereo file from the main mixbus output (post effects, post fader). If any are enabled then a multitrack recording is made with a pair of tracks for each enabled chain. The main mixbus may also be enabled to add a stereo mix pair of tracks to the multitrack recording.
