That's a true screenshot, but that argument is vulnerable to the exact
same 'logic' used to justify not caring about people who need to adjust
a different slider than Master or PCM, or people who want to switch
input channels: it's not a common case. most people don't see that much
of a mess of channels. The "Trident TRID4DWAVENX" is not a common sound
adapter.
Good thing it doesn't happen on other more common cards then.
Like say, the emu10k1.
