Summary	0001787: misleading error message- plugins
Description	Attempting to add a single input/double output plugin results in the message: 'You attempted to add plugin (name). The plugin has one inputs but at the insertion point there are two active signal streams. This makes no sense- you are throwing away part of the signal.' This creates the impression that a plugin with a mono input cannot be used on a stereo track, which obviously isn't true as single input/single output plugins work fine on any track with two inputs without even compromising the stereo signal. It might be better for the message to explain that that particular configuration, (and specifically that configuration) is not technically possible.
