I think the best answer would be to offer to 'convert' the region as dragged onto different tracks. So drag a mono region onto a stereo track causes a popup that would ask if you want to do this and show the proposed solution, or routing for the proposed solution. The reverse would also hold true, dragging a stereo channel onto a mono track would offer to mixdown the selection.<br>
<br>I don't necessarily have a problem whith the implementation commited myself, provided that we are only dealing with even multiples. Mono sources onto just about anything, stereo onto 4, 6, 8 channel tracks, etc. Things that it is easy to possibly guess how to handle.<br>

</div>I strongly agree with Joern on this matter.<br>
<br>
There is/was a similar issue that makes it impossible<br>
to use plugins with more inputs than outputs even if<br>
the I/O counts perfectly match those of the insert<br>
point.<br>
