Getting error - There is already a clip in the voice track

I'm using VS10 and am editing my imported DV split up as scenes.

I have a situation where after multi-trim edit on a video clip with split audio, the video clip then gets it's sound back (reversing the audio split) but the audio also appears separately on the timeline.

Details...
If I split the audio on all clips, select one clip, go to multi trim video, accept warning "The clips attributes will be reset to default setting...", remove a section in the middle of a clip and go back to timelime view. I find that the little audio icon on the video clip is no longer crossed out (indicating that the video clip now incorporates the audio), but the previously split audio track still appears separately on the audio track timeline and now actually spans both of the 2 new clips. Further more the 2 new clips now play with sound in the preview window.

Just out of interest to see what would happen, I selected the video clip and clicked on the now enabled "Split Audio" button which gave me an error saying "There is already a clip in the voice track".

Am I doing something wrong or is this just a whacky bug?

If the clip's attribute reset to default settings, then I guess that would be "unmuted", which is, essentially, what splitting the audio does. Sounds like you have to split audio after you multi-trim.

To get rid of the sound on the clip, can't you just mute it?

Ah ok. So the crossed out speaker icon is effectively indicating that the audio is muted on the video track. I didn't realise that. Yes I think I'll just work around this strange bug by not doing multi-trim on split audio.
