That is true in a mathematical sense, but I do not believe it is necessarily true in a social or convenience sense. It is very convenient to put in a movie and be able to put the volume control to a convenient setting even before the movie audio starts, just because movie soundtracks tend to be more consistent than CD's. Or to be able to watch two different television shows back to back without having to jump for the volume control because one is annoyingly louder than the other. I would appreciate music being delivered based on the R128 approach like video sound tracks so that a fairly narrow gain range would work for everything. -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
