this is one way some of the video editors allow for editing a cut or cross-fade,
you can select the transition and get a window which shows something quite like
the above, with a number of different ways to adjust the relevant parameters,
and an option to listen to/watch a preview which loops through the point
continuously as you make small adjustments if you want. It is something the user
turns to when fine-tuning a difficult transition.
Apple's Final Cut Pro has had variations of this for a long time, back in the
days when I used OSX and did video editing.
