OK Outsim know about this and will sort it out but i am posting here in case anybody else comes across the problem under a search on the forum
OK when using multiplexors for stream switching the multiplexor will send a DC when not active so if you are using it to switch audio outs for instance then the meters in your host will constantly show a signal
Solution Use selectors instead

Thanks for the FYI!

I'm still thinking about whether this is a bug or not. 😕
It's more or less consistent with the behaviour of the module with green data in that a disconnected output does not reset (trigger zero) when the Multiplexer shifts to a new output.
That said... I can see how you might/would expect a different outcome with stream data.

Well from Malcs email he didn't seem to think it should be doing it either 🙂 But anyway selectors are good enough and i only use them from now on when possible

Well when you described it sounded like it shouldn't ought to do that. It was only when I remembered being involved in the earlier exchange that i started to think about it. But I've gone back to considering it 'bugish'.
Given the nature of stream data I think it's reasonable to say that without a live connection to some kind of generator it should return to zero. It's just the consistency issue that made consider it further.
