Your idea of adding a second, logical stream for your meta-information 
is exactly what Annodex and CMML do; see 
<http://www.annodex.net/specifications.html> for more detail on their 
specs, or <http://www.annodex.net/software/index.html> for software.  
You could embed your volume/panning/etc commands in CMML using the META 
tags: drop me a private email if you'd like more information.
