Sandrine: This component can store a DSP chain configuration in a separate file, whereas the DSP chain management in the foobar2000 preferences stores DSP chains in the foobar2000 configuration. This component can be used to transfer DSP chain configurations between different foobar2000 installations.

Entrase: May I suggest to rename the "DSP chain serializer" menu entry to "DSP chain"? It's simpler and less technical.

Also the menu entries show as "Load..." and "Save as..." in the menu and "Load" and "Save" in the keyboard shortcuts. Is there a reason why you chose to present the names differently? Maybe consider calling them "Import..." and "Export..." to emphasize there is no inherent connection between the current DSP chain and the last loaded/saved file.

Ah, right. For a moment there my memory played tricks on me and I thought that the presets were saved to actual files instead of core.cfg, much like in the kx driver.
