David, would your idea be some kind of Volume Mixer, but without a master (yet, I hope)?
Like this: http://bit.ly/1j31EtA It would be better to disable not available strips at the current time, so the user has better feedback about what strip to change: http://bit.ly/1j31GSd And we can go on and to add the left options Mute and Pan: http://bit.ly/1j31IJS I think it could help a lot the Meta volume issue. A master volume control also would be useful. What do you think?
