It is opened when volume goes over 'othreshold' percent. After this, if volume drops below 'cthold' percent, gate is closed and won't be opened again. If 'value_mode' is 'rms', average RMS volume is used. Otherwise peak average is used. When closed, passing audio buffers are trucated to zero length. """ janne
