[RWP] new accessible peak meter

[Jim Snowbarger]

They do talk about putting this peak meter on a second track, so it's
beeping output can be routed separately.

The problem with it is that when you adjust the ratio between the signal and
the sonification or notification beeps, it changes the level of the signal.

It's ok to have a volume control for the sonification but if you're messing
with the levels with that control, then all bets are off.

I wrote them a note and told them so.

Better to have some alternative routing method to send the signal elsewhere,
but not a mix knob.

Maybe when the knob is set fully to just hear the notification of clipping
or whatever, then the signal isn't being affected, but then you can't hear
what's clipping and at what level.

So it needs to be changed.
