+## scalemix:
+#  Sets whether to scale the remixed output. When the final mix is written to
+#  the device, the multi-channel data is remixed so pure-virtual channels (eg.
+#  front-center on stereo output) are remixed and added to available channels
+#  (eg. front-left and front-right). Scaling helps ensure that no single source
+#  will put out more than 100% on a given physical channel. This can cause a
+#  noticeable reduction in overall volume, however, so it is off by default.
