Also, worth noting is that most pro desks have a fader range that goes up
above 0db (typically +10 -> -70 or so) and that the mapping of fader position
to db value is not linear!
Typically around one third to half the travel covers the +10 -> -10db range
with the -10 to -70 range shoehorned into the remainder.
Obviously the provision of 'gain' may not make much sense in something that
basically controls the soundcard hardware but the fader position to db gain
being non linear is a feature worth preserving.
IIRC there is a standard curve for midi CC values to gain that might be worth
tracking down?

It was just an example. The actual range depends
on the sound card
hardware, but the typical limit is something like -60 dB or -80 dB.
Ah, ok, yes i wasnt sure whether or not you were controlling the
hardware.
Also probably unnecessary for me to say this, but dont forget to
preserve the L/R balance when the user reaches top and bottom of
the fader's travel, unlike the current Alsamixer.
