Dialogs

The advanced face has four. The canonical face has none.

Open and Save As

File > Open... posts a file selection dialog titled "Audio Panel : Open", seeded with the current state file. File > Save As... posts the same kind of dialog titled "Audio Panel : Save As".

Both have their Help button removed, and neither closes on its own; use OK or Cancel.

Device Preferences

Selected > Preferences... posts a dialog titled "Audio Panel : Device Preferences", headed with the selected device's name. If no strip is selected, nothing opens and the message line says:

Select a device first (click its panel)

The dialog holds:

Sync Source:            a radio group; Internal is the only entry
Display on Device       show the sync source line on this strip
Device Menu Display:    which entries this device offers
  Sample Rate           on by default
  Sync Source           off by default
  Input Source          on by default
  Listen Device         on by default
Stereo Microphone       input strips only
Boot Volume:            output strips only

OK applies, Cancel discards.

Boot Volume reads "(not supported on this port)" and its Snap button is insensitive. No Blueprint backend can snapshot a boot volume, so the control is shown honestly rather than hidden.

The "Device Menu Display" toggles are what grey the matching entries in the button 3 menu for that strip.

What Is Not Here

There is no Audio Queue Monitor window. Options > Audio Queue Monitor prints a note and opens nothing.

There is no error dialog. Every warning and failure goes to the message line at the bottom of the window, and to the log.
