The docs on the 'kthresh' value are pretty obscure, but it doesn't look
like it affects much besides noise cutoff.  I can't figure out from the
docs what values would be appropriate for what, and why a large
negative value prevents cutoff.

Yeah -- they're always there.  If you've set one to zero, it will provide
that zero constantly to any instrument that uses it.

The ga_control_sig was there.  It was just zero and therefore having
that peculiar effect on the compressed signal.
