IIRC we fixed things so that if you've got two controls that share the
same register we do the right thing.  There are other devices with this
issue but it was years ago that I last looked at them, we do have
handling.

Yes, this is part of the ABI and honestly from an end user point of view
there is no meaningful difference between the two words (there would be
more if it were gain and attenuation since one is amplification and the
other isn't so there are different considerations when applying them to
signals but that's not the case here).
