That's not really a change in the knob's behaviour. The knob does *one*<br>
thing, namely attenuating the input. The fact that the input has a<br>
default value other than zero when no cable is attached is because of how<br>
the jack is wired, not really anything to do with the knob, and it's not<br>
obvious to me that "default values for inputs must always be 0V" is an<br>
intuitive or useful rule.<br>
