Notes:

1 The objective of this logic is to determine whether to bypass the embedder and whether to

set the ‘Insert Silence’ flag. The ‘Insert Silence’ flag governs whether the null audio source is
used.

(The ‘Insert Silence’ flag — or ‘null’ flag — is part of the pass-through logic of disembedder/
embedder outputs.

2 The “force embedder” attribute is specified in MRC’s ‘Input Attributes’ page.
