In what way does adding volume controls, mess up all sorts of things?
The patch bay of an anolog audio studio usually also doesn't provide
volume controls. Level controls are provided by musical instruments,
mixing consoles (per channel, per sub group, per aux channel, etc.)
and amplifiers etc., adding unneeded extra volume controls would mess
up the workflow. Don't get me wrong, a hardware mixer is a nice
feature, but if not available for class compliant USB audio
interfaces, volume control isn't an issue at all, even if the USB
audio interface shouldn't provide output volume controls by the
hardware. An issue more likely could be monitor routing. The less
features the sound server provides, the less could go wrong.
