I agree that the best solution is to buy a linear pot. I recently (maybe a
couple years ago) did a redesign of a product that sent audio through an
audio taper pot. In the new design, DC is put on the pot, the wiper
voltage measured, and a gain value sent to a DSP. I ended up going with a
linear pot because the resolution "at the bottom" of the pot was poor.
