[RWP] new accessible peak meter

[Jim Snowbarger]

Not sure precisely what you guys are focused on, regarding a mix knob, since
I have downloaded, but not yet played with this.  But, I would think the
ability to repress the main audio, so you can hear the tones better would be
essential.
Keepin the program audio level unmodified might well make it harder to use
this.

Yep Chris, that's the next tweak they need to make. I've been at the
research sessions that sparked off the development of this and will be
seeing the developer again at the end of Jan, so will second your suggestion
then and give him a face to face demo of why it's important if needs be.

Cool to see people are starting to use this, it's neat.
