Awesome, thanks for correcting me... I still need to fully grok the
mixer profiles stuff as I still see it as black magic... I should have
remembered that this was a spell that was possible with this black magic

/me will try and do some revamp stuff on the website over the holidays
and hopefully try and promote a better documentation process via that
medium.
