Opens the Audio Status window. The window is also brought to the front.
set
Arguments
output-channel-designation
[int]
In any inlet: The word set, followed by a number, sets the logical output channel for the signal inlet in which the set message was received. For instance, sending set 3 to the left inlet of ezdac~ makes the signal coming in the left inlet output to logical output channel 3.
Note that if the audio is on and you use the set message to change a ezdac~ to use logical channels that are not currently in use, no sound will be heard from these channels until the audio is turned off and on again.

In right inlet: The signal is sent to audio output channel 2.
