Our ears can't differentiate between differences in loudness very 
well. You have to double the loudness for it to sound like the next 
level up. That's why volume controls on TV's, radios, stereos, and 
mixers are exponential controls, they double the loudness when you 
increase the volume by one tick or unit.

You can use a linear mixer for audio, people do it all the time, but 
you won't have good control over the mix balance. For example, if 
you're mixing VCOs in a minimoog-type patch, you won't be able to 
adjust the oscillator balance very well.
