This feature makes the "l+r gang" button on each channel useless, since
the way I have always used analog mixers for stereo tracks is to gang
channel one and channel two, each paned hard left and right so I can
control stereo volume with one slider. As it is now I have to raise two
sliders for stereo tracks, which would work alright with a physical
mixing desk but I only have one mouse pointer.

I agree that it's a feature, but IMHO the UI is less than ideal.
I think I'd prefer a single slider and some kind of pan widget.

That's a feature. It just takes some getting used to. Normally I raise
left on one channel and right on another. This allows you to mix some
left into right and right into left or swap left and right. Russell Hanaghan wrote:

Try envy24control. It's in alsa-tools. It's the only one that lets you
access all the controls of the soundcard.
The one thing that threw me off (and I believe this qualifies as a bug
or perhaps confusing feature) is the digital mixer for all the channels
gives two faders per channel. So if you raise both faders on channel
one, it will send the same signal to both speakers. If you raise both
faders on channel two, it will do the same, effectively adding the two
signals together giving an output level twice as loud as what's actually
getting sent to the mixer.
