This is a small visual bug but has little functional effect. When I have "Show recording controls" for an audio channel enabled, and when I have that same audio track playing back at the same time, Both the input device and the output volume are fighting to use the same audio visualizer in the audio mixer. This causes a flickering between displaying the volume/gain of each. 

The solution that makes most sense to me, would be to only show the output volume during playback and else wise show the input device's gain. That way they are not fighting for the same visualizer space.
