There are cases where the playback/capture direction is obvious from the
name ("just implement an AI!"), but these can be considered bugs.

In the other cases, the control really doesn't belong to a direction.
(Which doesn't prevent many mixers that have two pages from just
throwing them in with the playback controls.)
