Using the whole slider area as single drag handle makes for a

thank you!

All this can be found in the fader design in Ardour.

wow Thorwil, i didn't know you were behind those!! Respect, Ardour is magnificent!
If only we had hardware drivers for AVID's digi003... ;(
 
It's mainly about an additional concept, but some examples of how such
sliders could look like can be found at:

having two axes to coordinate makes no sense, unless two values depend on simultaneous coordination.
Simple volume change is a one-value thing, so i think the excellent concept you present above is a little too rich for this particular application..
