Hi,
in regards to hardware monitoring there shouldn't be a big difference
between professionals, semi-professionals and amateurs. Most important
is the purpose, not the level of profession.
And because different people have different needs,
flexibility is a bad
idea?
I don't buy it.
What you want is as useful as a flying car. It doesn't make much sense,
it's only useful for a minority of users and actually nothing good at
all, let alone that flying cars are inappropriate expensive.
I repeat: analog consoles are dying out. People use
digital
controllers.
Repeating something wrong, doesn't make it becoming true. First of all,
a mixing console not necessarily is analog. However, even analog mixing
consoles aren't obsolet, neither for professionals or
semi-professionals, nor for amateurs.
Since you claim that Linux audio isn't for professionals, let's take a
look at some common brand new pro-sumer gear:

FWIW some mixing consoles could be used as audio interface.
Apart from "Frankensteining a Roland FR1b virtual accordion", we don't
really know what you really want to do. Anyway, you now know what
"--hwmon" does{,n't} provide and why there are tendencies to use
hdspmixer, other audio interface's mixers and/or mixing consoles for
hardware monitoring. So there's no need to explain anything anymore
from one to another user. Maybe a developer is willing to provide what
you want, with or without a discussion ;).
