Not that this would be wrong, but a big advantage of scanned 
potentiometer outputs / switch outputs (vs. the 4017-solution) is, that 
you can "sequence" any material you want. Instead of the voltage you can 
take audio. You even may use the potentiometers as crossfaders between 
two signals. Also you may feed different signals in each potentiometer. 
Have a look at the SND SAM 16 to get an idea of it:

All this can be achieved only if you scan the outputs of the potentiometers.
