The fact remains that a lot of high end professional

earlier post in this thread). This isn't intended as a criticism of the
developers, just an acknowledgement that perhaps more attention needs to be
paid to some fairly subtle aspects of design that have not been
considered important up to now, if these high end users are to take
Linux audio more seriously.
One of the things missing in all the LADSPA compressors I've seen so
far is a feature called 'release gate'. This freezes the release (i.e.
the gain stops rising) if the input signal drops below a set threshold.
It helps a lot in avoiding excessive 'pumping' on some types of signal.
