Subject[Csnd] manual dbfsamp
Hi
I noticed that the manual for dbfsamp (and ampdbfs) says "Full scale
is assumed to be 16 bit.",
but the opcodes respond correctly to the 0dbfs global statement.
Perhaps we should note this in the manual?

Yes. The 0dbfs mechanism was written quite some time after the dbfs 
ones, which were written when the ±32768 range was still "standard". So 
in the general case, anything still in the manual referring to 16bit 
ranges, or to 32768 etc, needs to be updated to reflect the 0dbfs system.
