Comment (by sluicebox):

 Thank you for this thorough and well written report. I had made some notes
 long ago where it didn't seem to me (as a user) that this was doing what I
 thought it would, but they weren't coherent, it just didn't seem right.
 It's great to have a list to look at and figure out what's going on. I
 wanted to write a report like this but I didn't know what I was talking
 about.

 It could be that the inherently complicated SCI audio situation makes it
 so that these settings produce outcomes that are technically correct but
 end up being at odds with what they seem to advertise, in which case we'd
 want to improve that. I've seen bug reports where people using default
 settings are confused by SCI audio results, and I've come away from those
 vaguely thinking it's not what I'd expect either.

 This is good timing because there's great momentum on the SCI audio front
 right now. I think we should go through this list and come up with the
 explanation for each (most will probably be the same) and go from there.
 If nothing else, that would be a big help to me, as I keep breaking my
 promise to stay away from the audio stuff. The only outcome I want to
 avoid is this being closed as "works as intended" without a thorough
 explanation as to why, because then we're back where we started, and
 reports like these will keep coming, only they probably won't be this high
 quality. (And I'd still be confused)

 I'll start taking a look. SCI audio folk, please chime in.
