 ### Channel issues
 Some games layer a huge number of channels, that are disabled or downmixed
 during gameplay. The player may be unable to play those files (for example
-foobar can only play up to 8 channels, and Winamp depends on your sound
-card). For those files you can set the "downmix" option in vgmstream, that
-can reduce the number of channels to a playable amount. 
+older foobar versions can only play up to 8 channels, and Winamp depends on
+your sound card). For those files you can set the "downmix" option in
+vgmstream, that can reduce the number of channels to a playable amount.
 
 Note that this type of downmixing is very generic (not meant to be used when
 converting to other formats), channels are re-assigned and volumes modified
