return	array	Data to be returned for every object being created. The array of return expressions defines which elements of the Wwise object is returned. This can include built-in accessors, such as the name or id, or object properties, such as the Volume or the Pitch.
return [...]	any of:	A return expression.
	string	Specifies one or many of the built-in accessors for Wwise objects. Possible values: id name notes type shortId classId category filePath workunit parent owner path isPlayable childrenCount totalSize mediaSize objectSize structureSize sound:convertedWemFilePath sound:originalWavFilePath soundbank:bnkFilePath music:transitionRoot music:playlistRoot audioSource:playbackDuration audioSource:maxDurationSource audioSource:trimValues audioSource:maxRadiusAttenuation audioSource:language workunit:isDefault workunit:type workunit:isDirty switchContainerChild:context
	string	Specifies one or many dot-separated accessors that form a query and yields a value or an object reference. Specifying a single @ returns the value of the property for the associated object. Specifying a double @ returns the value of the property for the source of override. Refer to Wwise Objects Reference .
platform	string	The ID (GUID) of the platform. An object GUID of the form: {aabbcc00-1122-3344-5566-77889900aabb}.
