Dune 2 is not compatible with Dune 1 in any way, so transferring features back would be difficult or even impossible. For instance Dune 1 had monophonic voices spread in the stereo field, while Dune 2 is fully stereo. We kept Dune 1 alive for some time in case people wanted to use older third-party soundsets, that were still around when Dune 2 was initially released. In the mean time Dune 1 has become rather obsolete though. Since Dune 3 will be fully patch-compatible with Dune 2, Dune 3 will probably replace both.
