Is there/will there ever be an audio taper version of the breadboard trim potentiometer?
I've used them in a few audio projects and the linear taper doesn't do the potentiometer justice - I love these things!

Re: Breadboard trim potentiometer
I can't speak for the people who make the purchasing decisions, but in the meantime you can simulate a log-taper pot by putting a fixed-value resistor in parallel with the wiper. You actually get a square-root curve, but if you choose your values properly you can get a good approximation of a log taper.
This page has a good discussion of the principle: http://sound.westhost.com/pots.htm
