I am using \caption  in a LaTeX \picture environment. Some captions
would be easier to read if it was possible to start a new line inside
the caption, eg:

     Figure 1.1: Effects of interaural time difference (ITD).
     A: Speech signals.
     B: Tone burst.

I am trying to do this with \\, but this produces an error:
     Argument of \caption has an extra }.
Anyone know of a solution?
