I am writing a max for live device in javascript that will dynamically create loop players. I am trying to get it so that each created player's audio will be routed to a different track in ableton. I have been able to do it by copying a bunch of these dropdown routing patches into my patch, and then manually assigning each stereo output to a track:

route

deferlow

comment

live.thisdevice

unjoin

message

loadmess

sprintf

routingobjects

zl.nth

zl.delace

live.observer

live.path

umenu

This is not ideal however, as patch is creating and removing players on the fly. I would ideally like to use js to:

- find available tracks to route audio to

- know which track each device output audio is currently routed to 

- assign a device's audio output to a different track

I am just hacking with `LiveAPI` currently, but so far I have this:

post('audio_outputs callback', JSON.stringify(update), "\n");

var device = new LiveAPI(audioOutputCallback, "live_set this_device" );

post('routing types callback', JSON.stringify(update), "\n");

var track = new LiveAPI(routingTypesCallback, "live_set this_device canonical_parent" );

track.property = 'available_output_routing_types';

`audioOutputCallback` is logging out this, which I believe is right, as my plugout~ has 32 outs, so I believe this is my 16 stereo output pairs:

js: audio_outputs callback ["audio_outputs","id",2,"id",4,"id",5,"id",6,"id",7,"id",8,"id",9,"id",10,"id",11,"id",12,"id",13,"id",14,"id",15,"id",16,"id",17,"id",18]

and `routingTypesCallback` is logging this, which seems to match my ableton projects' tracks:

js: routing types callback ["available_output_routing_types",{"available_output_routing_types":[{"identifier":0,"display_name":"Ext. Out"},{"identifier":1,"display_name":"Master"},{"identifier":2,"display_name":"2-Audio"},{"identifier":3,"display_name":"3-Audio"},{"identifier":4,"display_name":"4-Audio"},{"identifier":5,"display_name":"5-Audio"},{"identifier":6,"display_name":"6-Audio"},{"identifier":7,"display_name":"7-Audio"},{"identifier":8,"display_name":"8-Audio"},{"identifier":9,"display_name":"9-Audio"},{"identifier":10,"display_name":"10-Audio"},{"identifier":11,"display_name":"11-Audio"},{"identifier":12,"display_name":"12-Audio"},{"identifier":13,"display_name":"13-Audio"},{"identifier":14,"display_name":"14-Audio"},{"identifier":15,"display_name":"15-Audio"},{"identifier":16,"display_name":"16-Audio"},{"identifier":17,"display_name":"17-Audio"},{"identifier":18,"display_name":"18-Audio"},{"identifier":19,"display_name":"19-Audio"},{"identifier":20,"display_name":"Sends Only"}]}]

- how do I find out which audio_output is assigned to which routing_type

- how do I assign an audio_output to a new routing type?

Any help on this would be much appreciated.
