Oh, and
about linear needing 2 directions, up/down for gain

This is such a bad idea, unless the control is an X/Y control to
start with.
No, I did not mean 2 axes for one widget. Only that a linear widget
has to indicate it's direction even before interaction happens, and
that it makes sense to use vertical for volume and horizonal for pan
in the same interface.
For visual hinting, how about:
O
/ \ Horizonal (e.g. pan control)
min at south west
max at south east
O Vertical (e.g. Whatever else)
min at south west (or east)
max at north west (or east)
