 It  means block schema of Automatick Gain/Volume Control is (can
 be)
 Filter -- RMS_Calculator -- Volume_control 
 In exact such order ?
 (- For example in FFT are used Rectangular(no window) , Hann,
 Hamming, Barlow ... windows. -)
 What are the most common filters for ACG and "Loudness" control ?

 Why not ?
 So far i unterstand the best way for RMS calc would be SQRT of
 integral of power2 of sound signal function.
 Real signal is not sequence of sampled rectangles, but smooth
 function.
 Can not happen so what that rectangle inaccuracy of each sample by
 freq > 10KHZ ,
 in end effect will accumulate big inaccuracy ?

 U mean that normally full amplitude sine wave is defined as 0dB RMS
 signal ?
 Can U plz gimme some examples ?
 What is RMS value dB of  +/-maximum_angular signal 
 _-_-_-_-_-
 ( such values - 4k times  0x8000 and 4k times 0x7FFF  .... ) ?
 What is RMS value dB of  sine wave , peak/amplitude normalized
 to  0x8000-0x7FFF  (or 1.0) ?
  Tnx in Advance
