I find this very confusing too. I have to fart around until I figure out what volume setting is which. Is there no way to generalize this?
I mean do all this fancy stuff but provide general names that always routes the command to the proper channel. For example a master mute and a master volume. That way old timers like me (that still believe that audio doesn't belong on unix machines) can actually use it. The folks at apple got it right; they simply have a louder/quieter slider thingy; perfect! All the other fancy stuff is for people who know what they are doing.
