At the request of a couple of csound subscribers I've attempted to give an
example of how I implement the volume limiting I described in my earlier
mail.  I originally intended to use a function for the curve, but in the
end I used a table into which I placed a few values from this curve and
I'm afraid I've completely lost the original function.  It's not complex..
it was the result of about 5 minutes fiddling with gnuplot :) The curve in
my example isn't really very curved at all, but you can imagine that if
you added a few extra points you could achieve a much better
approximation.  The important thing is that it works, quite well :)

ps. I use 16bit WAVs..my constants reflect that.
