You could use LADSPA to insert a limiter or compressor between the source and the output. See http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/Modules#module-ladspa-sink for an example of inserting an equalizer. There are probably several LADSPA limiters available, but you'll have to look it up yourself unless someone steps in with a complete solution here. -- David K?gedal
