In partial defence of this, many people already know how to interact with audio hardware.

What about a circular knob that is controlled not by twisting a mouse but by moving the mouse up/down over it? But my all-time favourite is a slider or knob that one controls with a mouse to try and get an *exact* setting (according to a digital readout), because there is no keyboard interface. Some graphics software is guilty of this too.
