@ -208,10 +208,11 @@ Some plugins have options that allow any extension (common or unknown) to be
played, making renaming unnecessary. You may need to adjust plugin priority in

Also be aware that some plugins can tell the player they handle some extension,
then not actually play it. This makes the file unplayable as vgmstream doesn't
even get the chance to parse that file, so you may need to disable the offending
plugin or rename the file (for example this may happen with .asf and foobar).

A particularly nasty variation of that is that some formats load files by full
name (e.g. `STREAM.SS0`), but sometimes the actual filename is in other case
(`Stream.ss0`), and some files could even point to that with another case. You
could try adding *symlinks* in various upper/lower/mixed cases to handle this.

Currently there isn't any way to know what exact name is needed (other than
hex-editting), though only a few formats do this, mainly *Ubisoft* banks.

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

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
in simplistic ways, since it can't guess how the file should be properly
adjusted. Most likely it will sound a bit quieter than usual.
You can also choose which channels to play using *TXTP*. For example, create
a file named `song.adx#C1,2.txtp` to play only channels 1 and 2 from `song.adx`.
*TXTP* also has command to tweak how files is downmixed.
