[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] libavfilter/af_showvolume: A Simple Audio Filter for Extracting Volume Information

[Lars Kiesow]

Hi Clément,
thanks for the hints, volumedetect and showwaves are doing something
different and won't help. I sent an explanation for volumedetect already
and showwaves will convert the input audio to a video output
representing the samples waves at that point and won't allow to store
that information in any way. At least not as static image or datafile.
So it's again something different.

I need to have a look at ebur128 though. I never had a look at that
filter, but will try it later. A first glance at the docs revealed that
it might do something similar. Let me get back after some testing.
Regards,
Lars
