yes, perhaps 2, maybe more.
good that you mention this: i think the most reasonable solution then would
be rows instead of columns per app.

Also, do you really want to control stereo balance separately for each

meters: purely informative, no control for stereo balance.

one meter means we're listening to a mono source
two bars means it's stereo or multistream

meters are helpful, since they visualize sound.. per app.
you can easily think of multiple intuitive advantages of such a feature in
your UI.
they are not difficult to implement.
programming an EQ would be much harder.
