+# wov widget
+#
+# A wov widget. This is a generic class, which will be used for multiple types of wov
+# widget, and the wov widgets can be distinguished from one another with different UUID's.
+# All attributes defined herein are namespaced
+# by alsatplg to "Object.Widget.wov.N.attribute_name"
+#
+# Usage: this component can be used by instantiating it in the parent object. i.e.
+#
+# 	Object.Widget.wov."N" {
+#		uuid	$WOV_UUID
+#	}
+#
+# Where N is the unique instance number for the wov object within the same alsaconf node.
