I remember this and could never get it work.  Tuviah Snyder (who I believe
authored most if not all of the external) told me at the time that the
feature was created based on some experimentation on various computers but
was never developed/tested as a real-world solution for all situations.

(At that time I was using SndChannel that provided similar functionality for
pre-OSX systems.)

But times have changed, computers have moved forward, and Rev's audio
capabilities desperately need to move forward as well. So whether its the
Rev guys themselves or a third party company, *any* development effort that
brings more advanced audio features to Rev would be very welcome.
