Yes, when parsing .scsyndef files I could see the double input spec with a
first index referring to the ugen and a second index referring to which
output of that ugen.
However, it appears that that OutputProxy never makes it to the server side
representation, so I'm deducing it must be a client side thing, not
dissimilar to what I had in mind.
