 Stereo pair indicators (within clip items): Two pairs of triangles indicate that two audio
clip items are linked as a stereo pair. If you select an audio clip item that is part of a
stereo pair, the other clip item in the pair is also selected. This is useful when you are
working with stereo audio clips such as music or sound effects. For more
information, see Volume II, Chapter 17, “Audio Editing Basics.”
