just a flag in the GstMixerTrack (e.g. readable/writable) would be enough. If
you want to be strict about api compat, just call it read-only and write-only
(where 0 = readwrite).

I don't think this is a dup of the other report. For the other report, I would
prefer to make it a GstMixerOptionsTrack (the one that only alsa uses right
now). The mixer should then display this options-track in the same tab as the
volume control itself (either hardcoded or as a user preference). that way, the
other report needs no new API. Introducing things like a mic-flag and a
line-flag and such is really not the right thing, imo. There is a similar
report in gnome-media, and this is how I proposed to fix it. I think Brian
thought it was an acceptable approach, also.
