Post EQ? Post compressors is not that important? (I would figure that
that meter is post compressor since the path is EQ -> compressor ->
limiter (from emmory)?

Hmmm. Maybe make that line change color from blue to something else when
it gets stuck above 0 dBFS?

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe there is a patch or whatever for the
config file so I (we...) can try this out?
I guess all 'dangerous' signal levels should be clearly visible as such
(red, orange...).
