this is not really a function of the fader directly, but of an
arbitrary decision to have a static range of -inf to +6dB of applied
gain. any such decision will be arbitrary - however, it being software
it would be nice to be able to pick the range.

i don't see any solution to this. AFAIK the specs for various standard
meters and for various standard faders do not use the same scale. any
time you put them side-by-side, there seems to be potential for
confusion. ardour isn't use standards for either, but the same issue
applies. if you have ideas i'm all ears (but no minutes to code it at
present).
