As far as I can see, write means as you play the track you can alter the
sliders and ardour records this as a change to the gain curve, whereas
play does the opposite, i.e. it applies the saved gain curve and moves
the sliders for you.

What I never did figure is what the "touch" setting did.

the other thing to check is that the track is not marked for record -
this seems to disable the slider.
