That's "more "more"" or less true. But regarding to PA, PA can't have all this information ;). Yep, it's your argument, that what PA does is correct. You aren't completely wrong. I still vote for "headroom" and a classical analog style. Or much better "self responsibility", sorry, I couldn't resist. Use jackd, read the ffffffffff manual and control audio streams yourself. Automation always tends to fail. YMMV! Ralf
