System Tray VU Meter
« on: June 21, 2004, 10:39:29 am »

A non-intrusive, yet useful, use of Media Center would be to display the output level in a system tray icon (or, alternatively,  in a fourth button on the left of the canonical _ox). In addition, a clipping indicator (red) could be added, with manual reset (click). Clipping could be shown in a different colour (yellow or orange) when it is due to Replay Gain in a track with irregular peaks. The response of the VU Meter should be quick, like ZoneAlarm
I think that the metering is applicable only to formats that can be played back through a "controllable" chain. I have found that videos, and certain audio types, are played back through the default sound card (I found the playback chain documented nowhere, by the way).
