Audioseal watermark does not survive mixing with other audio or playback through speakers.

[duringleaves]

I've been excitedly looking at training a 48K model of Audioseal to fingerprint some generated content, but have run into failures on a few tests with the native model.

1. A single watermarked file retains the fingerprint when dropped into a DAW and re-encoded during mixdown, but if I mix it with another file, say a music track or white noise, the mixdown fails the watermark check.
2. Recording over the air playback of a watermarked file does not appear to retain the fingerprint when checking the recorded file.

Have I missed something, or is Audioseal simply useful for validating provenance of a piece of source media, but no further than that?
