I would love to see some more flex in the AHM for handling Inputs to Zones with different channel widths. Some suggestions:

1. Stereo Inputs can have independent or linked gains
2. Mono Input channel feeding a stereo Zone can have a pan control in the XPoint routing, or at least a L/R Zone channel select (for each Zone destination)
3. Stereo channel feeding a mono Zone can have a balance control in the Xpoint routing (for each Zone destination)

Bumping this as after 2 years, my number one blockage when using AHM is the handling of mono sources into stereo zones, and stereo sources into mono zones.

Essentially, I end up having to keep all sources and zones mono. This greatly increases the UI workload and the chances I forgot to copy something over to another side of a stereo pair (configured as mono channels because I have to for above reasons).

Thanks
