I do think the wheel should change values though, with the steps being
configurable in code to make getting nice round numbers simple and
quick. ie for a [-1, 1] slider, every tick of the mouse wheel could be
0.1, so getting to 1.0, and 0.0, etc. would be quick and not require too
much hand movement.

Sine the
standard middle click action will not
work that good with sliders, we thought about
using it for reset to default or center. But
we would like to see some standardization here,
so what other actions are assigned to middle
click in other (linux) audio apps, and what
does everybody think about this?
I don't think you should use the middle button for anyting.
With scroll-button mouses (which everyone should use), the
middle button is very unconfortable. What about
some creative use of the scroll-wheel instead? The obvious
use is of course to change the value with the scroll-wheele.
I think that would be nice.
