I like that way too. We could have separate chapters for Radio,
Recording etc. The only drawback is the fact that the manual chapter
numbers will then vary between the targets, and as users tend to name
only the section number instead of its name this might cause some
misunderstandings. Not sure if that is too much a concern though.

I do though like the idea that you get a specific chapter for
recording if your player supports that feature. People, and we tend to
refer to numbering, but the manual being in draft/developing status
atm those numbers can and will change anytime.
My wish is that we could focus towards a future release where the
manual stays the way it is and the recording chapter is e.g. chapter 5
for targets with that feature, and for the others chapter 5 is the
plugin chapter (e.g.). This is not a big problem in my humble opinion.

...or you have a "not supported" chapter for the units that don't support a particular feature. In the above example, for a unit incapable of recording, Chapter 5 would become:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 5 Recording

Sorry, recording is not supported by the hardware.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This way the numbering matches. The downside is that someone will get excited briefly because they think that the mentioned feature (e.g. recording) is possible on their hardware, but their irrational exuberance[1] will be tempered quickly.
