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.
