    That's OK.  I hadn't done anything either and you were busy with
JACK.  I hurt my back last week and I was home for a few days and got
bored.  I was actually surprised at how easy it turned out to be.  I was
expecting much more difficulty with it.

    I'd still like to be able to have up to 2ms delay on the low band
and .5ms on the mid like you can do with a Rane crossover or BBE.  It's
amazing what a difference that makes.  I have no idea how to implement
that though (other than the interface of course).  I think the other
feature requests were for more verbosity on the meters and configurable
OVER level.  We've added a configurable WARN level.  My biggest problem
with verbosity is just screen real estate.  On the output meters I'd
need 4 values - RMS L, RMS R, OUT L, and OUT R.  Those values go from
-60.0 to +6.0 so we'd need 5 character spaces.  We'd also want IN L and
IN R on the input meter.  We've got plenty of room for values on the
limiter input and limiter meters but I don't think those are the
important ones.  I keep looking at the interface to try to find some
room.  Maybe I could move the BYPASS button from under the output meter
and put it next to the limiter bypass checkbox.  If I label it as Global
Bypass it should be pretty obvious what it does and that would give me
some more room in the output meter box.  In order to make it look right
though I'd probably have to put the RMS levels at the bottom and the OUT
levels at the top.  I could avoid labels by having a tooltip for each
value.  In Ardour they're putting peak levels in those spots.  I'm not
sure if that is what the request was for.  We need some more input on
this.
