As said, I didn't look. Now comes the "BUT" part :) The middle mousebutton is 
mostly emulated if used at all by windows users - which mostly only have two 
mouse buttons at all. This function with the master control should be 
*easily* accessible, the complete stuff can be retrieved over the menu. But I 
propose a better handling: use single-click for the master control and 
doubleclick for the full mixer controls. I think that satisfies the user's 
needs and windows does it the same way, or ?
