Subject[Csnd] Normalizing floating point .wav files
I've just realized that I must work in floating point.  I have this idea of
systems of soundfile makers that produce a hierarchy of mixable
files that will yield the end result.  I can't be expected to keep tweaking
master volume variables as the composition changes in order to keep
the integer files near their maximum amplitude.

I know that such a utility used to ship with csound.  Was it 'sndnorm' or
something like that?  I'm on Kubuntu right now, and I installed csound-utils,
but I don't get anything good that starts with 'snd'.

I just want to go:

some_prog myfloatfile.wav > my_nice_normalized_16_bit.wav

and have the new file be normalized to zero dB in it's native bit width.

Thanks,

Tobiah
