You mean to say
Left and Right should be a single stereo control which can be provided 
with SOC_DOUBLE. Actually case 2 corresponds to the same setting which 
you are suggesting.

But why this is better option?

In case user wants a separate left/right volume control then how this 
setting is going to help.
