[linux-audio-dev] mouse wheel behavior and RFC: human interface guidelines

[Melanie]

Hi,

it's backwards in a "numerical" sense, in that the numbers increase with 
one slider type, but decrease with another, using the same command.

However, UI designers don't think in numbers, but associations.

Left is generally associated with up, right with down, as we read left to 
right, top to bottom. Therefore, up MUST map to left, down MUST map to 
right, otherwise, non-mathematically minded people get uttely confused.
