+
+  Crossfeed has the following settings.
+  \begin{description}
+  \item[Crossfeed:]
+    Selects whether the crossfeed effect is to be enabled or not.
+  \item[Direct Gain:]
+    How much the level of the audio that travels the direct path from a speaker
+    to the corresponding ear is supposed to be decreased.
+  \item[Cross Gain:]
+    How much the level of the audio that travels the cross path from a speaker
+    to the opposite ear is to be decreased.
+  \item[High-Frequency Attenuation:]
+    How much the upper frequencies of the cross path audio will be dampened.
+    Note that the total level of the higher frequencies will be a combination
+    of both this setting and the \emph{Cross Gain} setting.
+  \item[High-Frequency Cutoff]
+    Decides at which frequency the cross path audio will start to be cut
+    by the amount described by the \emph{High-Frequency Attenuation} setting.

+  Most users will find the default settings to yield satisfactory results, but
+  for the more adventurous user the settings can be fine-tuned to provide a
+  virtual speaker placement suited to ones preference.

+  Beware that the crossfeed function is capable of making the audio distort
+  if you choose settings which result in a too high output level.
