Paste vision only from the Trimmer?

Is it possible?
Reason is I'm dealing with video + 4 channel XDCAM EX, it's a simple edit and I don't want to have to have another 4 audio tracks to clutter up the T/L. It's bad enough that it seems I cannot tell Vegas that 1 + 2 = stereo pair, 3 = mono and 4 = ignore.

Left click on the trimmer and select Video only or use the shift + tab key.

... or drag above the higher of the two perforated lines. (Dragging below the lower one is for audio only)

Thanks everyone.
I've found the Select Video Only method works the best as I'm a "i",,,"O" kind of Trimmer user.

i regularly use EXDCAM EX with 4 channels of audio and find it frustrating to not be able to more easily select which channels of audio are transferred to the timeline with an edit from the trimmer. (stream selections from the right click menu) I think it would be useful to have a check box in the trimmer window for vision with a drop down selection for V to include vision or none for no vision, and then another selection box for audio which would have selections such as ALL for all channels of audio, A1, for one channel of audio, A1+2 for audio channels one and two etc.. The selections would remain when you update a new clip into the trimmer window. At present i find i have to TAB through the options to select just vision or audio each time i load a new clip into the trimmer, unless i am missing something.
