real Subchannels versus Sound SoundObject in the Mixer #684

In the Mixer, one can create Subchannels manually. On the Timeline, one can create a Sound SoundObject. To get to hear the output of this Object one has to create a Subchannel Mixer strip as well.

They both get a Mixer strip- where it is indistinguishable to see whether the Subchannel is a Mixer Subchannel where one can do some routing to for effects, or it is an Output Mixer strip for a certain Sound SoundObject. Screenshot from 2022-06-16 09-46-52

Some visual feedback might make this difference more apparent.

Pre-fade and post-fade are great to have in the Sound SoundObject, so they need to stay. This means the Sound SoundObject's Mixer strip cannot change too much from the present one.

Perhaps Subchannels can have a slightly different blue color and the Sound SoundObject yet another blue color? And to add an option to the rightclick menu Add SubChannel, like Add SSO channel?
