You are correct as this is my Intention Item should be treated as
transparent, opaque, Its just a way or pointing out a "thing" in hAudio

what is a track on your CD? Just a space, gap or marker nothing more its
the contents of a track that has meaning. If we store tracks on a file
system each or these tracks has unique properties on their own and it is
these values that hAudio has to describe.
