// General Description: Finding the "perfect" audio settings can become quite troublesome. Maybe
// somebody knows the perfect values, maybe somebody can proof his mathematically but maybe they wont
// fit our needs. We have different ears and use different equippment, so one way to find our values
// might be to just give them a try.
//
// TL;DR: With this script you will be able to toggle between 5 different presets:
//
// 1. nanashis headphone settings
// 2. recommended headphone settings (by /u/VolsAndJezuz)
// 3. alternative headphone settings (by /u/VolsAndJezuz)
// 4. recommended hrtf settings (default Settings by Valve)
// 5. recommended 2.0_2.1 speaker settings (by /u/VolsAndJezuz)

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Additional Thoughts
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Another way to approach this kind of idea, might be to create config files for each sound configuration
// And each of those files contains an boolean (alias) that will answer a major toggle config which
// needs to know if it is okay to alter some values (fluid values vs static values) based upon the
// screen ratio: like alias screen_ratio_on and screen_ratio_off.
//
// the toggle config will toggle through each sound config file, whilest checking for said boolean,
// adjusting values accordingly and that's it. BUT I do believe, that such a defragmentation of files,
// will confuse a majority of users/gamers, who are looking for a "simple solution" which is why, I am
// not going to create it ... for now, and instead wanted to add this text as a little reminder to myself
// and people whom are interested in creating config files as well. Cheers.
