 It's not using the application MixMonitor yet because I think
MixMonitor itself was relatively new before 1.2 was released and it
was thought to leave Monitor in place there and in agent recording
rather than risk stability/usability issues with the new release
version. I would fully expect that MixMonitor will replace Monitor in
the next major release for a number of reasons which Kevin Fleming and
yourself have pointed out in numerous previous posts.
