That's fine for parameters with min and max values - but for things such
as a surround pan control continuous around 360 degress, I can't see
any obviouus alternative to the 'alpha wheel', whether in software or
hardware. Even a control defining distance as well as azimuth will
probably involve rotational mouse movements - and I have never found
those particularly difficult anyway. If you can whisk an egg, you can
twirl a knob with a mouse.....

Please, no knobs! Knobs are for fingers, not for mice. Just because they
exist in the real world does not mean they are extendable to user
interfaces.
Instead, try to use sliders. They *are* consistent in interfaces. Use
buttons to turn on/off something.
