I would rather we dealt with the UI issues as UI issues and not "solve"

compatibility of their published capability with usage possibilities.
To add my 0,2 cents : on OS X audio drivers should really have the
philisophy of "present the hardware as is". It is usually an "easy"
solution to put some UI behavior and cleverness in the driver, but it
inevitably leads to hack and confusion and does not allow to clearly
separate the problems to solve (and thus solve them properly) . Having
the driver as "neutral" as possible does really allow flexibility in the
configuration at a higher level.
It is true that the Sound Pref pane is more dedicated towards the
majority of users than audio oriented ones, but as Bill was saying in a
previous email, the inclusion of an audio utility application into
Jaguar will help solve this issue. In the meantime I can only advise
driver writer to provide a custom app talking to the HAL to help
configuration (Daisy is a good example of how to do such an app)
