This really should be TWO tables.
One would control properties that apply to the whole sequence,
and a second with an additional index to permit individual
entries for each of the tones in a sequence.  This would
reduce the number of object definitions in the MIB module,
make the scope of applicability of the attributes clearer, and
generally make it easier to understand what's going on.

When I see

I get the feeling that the model needs to be re-factored, both in light
of the need to support these more complex sequences and from
a simple data modeling perspective.
