very nice!  I most like the svg ones for the cleaner look.

But there comes another handling problem:
some people have opted for linear movement (I too think radial 
movement is intuitive but mostly unusable -- normal mouse movement 
is linear) but then I think we need both directions:
- up/down for something like gain
- left/right for something like pan
and this only works with an additional linear display in the right 
direction

What do you think?
