I am not talking about using applications at same time, rather session 
settings for changing between uses, so you spend an hour listening to 
music, then decide to watch a DVD, the volume does not have to be 
altered. Plus if EQ settings are included it allows EQ profiles to be 
specified by the user for each audio type universally (this taking the 
form of predefined EQ settings named movies, music, ultrabass etc...).

I have put together a very basic draft for a mixer which needs much work 
for a serious draft but gets my idea across
