Self-Controlling Segments

A self-controlling segment ignores any control information from the control segment that duplicates control information in the self-controlling segment. For example, if the segment has a command track, it can use its own groove levels rather than the groove levels set by the control segment.

Segments can define for each track where it gets its controlling information, as follows:

• From tracks in the control segment. This is the default behavior.
• From tracks in the primary segment, regardless of whether it is the control segment.
• From tracks in the same segment.

Segments are configured to be self-controlling by the author. DirectX for Visual Basic does not support track configuration by applications.
