Acclaim 100 uses a pile-on convention, rather than last-action convention,
to determine output levels for channels. This means that Acclaim 100
reads all output levels it receives for a specific channel and sets that
channel to the highest of these levels.
For example, assume a channel is included in a submaster and is also
included in an active scene. Acclaim 100 sets the channel at the greater
of the two settings.
