although it makes me happy to see you feeling this way, i felt compelled to add that i'm not necessarily sure that the linux way *is* better. its more flexible, that's true. but the two different standards for "input maximum signal level" are just that - standards - and the fader to control this makes it much harder to switch between the two levels that all of my equipment uses.
This is a good point. Maybe my sound problem is only my poor skill at setting the output signal level appropriately.
Chances are M-Audio put some thought into the +4dBu, Consumer, and -10dbV presets. Does anyone know how we could map these to the corresponding 7 bit values? I could probably patch envy24control to add analog signal presets so we could have the best of both features.

It might have a value from 0 to 100%. Percent of what?
I think that this should all be changed to signed values, with a max and a min setting. With a value of 0 being equivalent to no-gain, no-attenuation. Each alsa-driver would then convert this signed value into a value actually written to the hardware register via a lookup table.
