Hello Fons!

...
1. The sensitivity of your headphone, that is the SPL for some given voltage. This may be in the specs of your headphone.
I think it is.

2. The 'gain' of your sound card at a particular DAC gain setting.

This could be measured (using an RMS voltmeter) with a know software
generated signal.
I know someone with all kinds of meters like that. :)

3. How (2) depends on the volume settings (if any) of your sound card.
If these are in dB and accurate (I wouldn't trust ALSA for this) that
is easy.
I might start out by trusting ALSA. :)

4. The RMS level (in dB FS) of the signal you are playing. Zita-mu1
provides this but is probably of little use to you. What do you normally
use for metering ?
Csound has lufs metering implemented now. I think it will do. At any
rate, I'm looking at a constant signal, so that should be easy.

Best wishes and many thanks,

Jeanette
