Hmm, ok. As matter of fact it was very recently I changed it to behave
like this.
The sidebar not being grayed out was a mistake though.

It might be that I was wrong since you say it does have effect, I was
quite sure it didn't.
The reason that I changed it was actually to remove confusion since I
think the intended way to change channels is from inside the drum
editor, it can be changed /per/ drum. (Actually a very nice feature :)

I will revisit it later, if it does indeed work I'll put it back the
way it was, if a user knows how to use the per-drum setting they will
(hopefully) understand that the track channel has been overridden.
