Nice. A bit big by default. I'd say 400x400 is fine, but I guess you
have some fancy soundcard with a gazillion sliders, isn't it?

Also, there are problems with some missing sliders:

(xfce4-mixer:18107): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_vscale_new_with_range:
assertion `step != 0.0' failed

(xfce4-mixer:18107): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_scale_set_draw_value:
assertion `GTK_IS_SCALE (scale)' failed

(xfce4-mixer:18107): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_range_set_inverted:
assertion `GTK_IS_RANGE (range)' failed

...

Are you planning on creating a panel plugin as well?
