Comment (by MelkorLord):

 I don't think "draw=full" is the right answer. Please see the attached
 waveforms to see the difference.

 !SoundForge (Windows) only supports peak level display and the waveform is
 identical to Audcacity's dark blue part.

 Audacity displays both peak (dark blue) and average RMS (light blue) and
 the light blue part is quite identical to FFMPEG's showwavespic overall
 shape.

 Besides, there's no apparent difference between "draw=scale" and
 "draw=full" options, at least not using this resolution. Using higher
 resolutions (tested up to 3840 pixels width) shows differences but the
 waveform aspect remains the same, only more detailed as the "draw=full"
 seems to imply.

 If you need the OGG Vorbis sample, just ask but I'll have to compress it
 further because it's a bit bigger than the allowed attachment size (2.5 MB
 vs 3.9 MB for the OGG file)
