I think I will eventually implement:

  - manually settable global (default) attenuation
  - manually settable and remembered per-file attenuation

When auto attenuation is enabled, the global/default attenuation is 0 dB but
per-file attenuation will be whatever level the auto attenuation ends at.

(Tony sent me some code that implements a compressor.)

Yes, it's enough to understand how to do it; thanks.

I wonder though if it wouldn't be better to implement this in a special DSP
plug-in rather than further complicate the input plug-in...
