Am I nuts to think Qtractor should be sending an initial MIDI controller event when the track begins playing based off the state of the track's volume in the mixer?

and that's exactly what it does: it sends MIDI track's volume (CC#7) and panning CC#10 as well, at the start of playback; the values that are sent are the ones set on the MIDI track's mixer strip sliders.

however, if there are any CC#7 (or CC#10) channel events inscribed in the MIDI sequence, file or clip, they will be sent to the target devices alright--why wouldn't they?--and that just might not get reflected to the mixer strips sliders at all! I'm pretty sure it is not:) but them both might affect the target device which I think is some Carla hosted plugin in your case.

hth.
