Volume fading on the matrix essentially is a surround panner. Bring  
down the level in 1 set of speakers while simultaneously bringing up  
the level in another set. I have found that it is pretty smooth when  
using the equal-gain'iest fade setting (all the way up on the shape  
slider). However if this is not smooth enough, you could always make  
2 fade cues, one to come down in one speaker and another to come up  
(at a different speed) in another.

To compare it to our love and hated point of reference, Spacemaps are  
really nothing more than automation in the Matrix.
