Well, no, actually I winked. It's sort of unlikely that I'll actually 
use either the volume or the pan. I drive GSt audio into Pro Tools and I 
do volume and panning automation there.

I do think that someone doing a little bit of music in Rosegarden might 
want to set up a stereo space though, and to that extent panning would 
be nice in LS since audio handling in RG is not that strong yet. 
However, I'd guess someone using Ardour would likely pan within that tool.

Please note, however, that most GSt instruments are sort of weird in 
their use of stereo. For pianos the sound space is generally like your 
sitting at the piano bench. You hear low notes on the left, high notes 
on the right. This is fine if you're just using GSt as a replacement for 
playing the piano, but it's not what a piano sounds like in a mix. 
Generally I have to take the stereo output of GSt and minimize ot to 
almost a mono signal (in terms of left-right) so that I can place it 
properly in a mix.

Hope this helps,
Mark
