You just store the peak amplitudes (+ve and -ve sepratly) for every N
samples.
I think typically you have two seperate peak files, eg. one for every 2^8
samples and one for every 2^16.
The eqivalent in large images uses one "peakfile" for every power of two,
but audio people seem to be more conservative - for one thing scaling
audio is much cheaper.
You could look at sweep, snd, ardour, audacity etc. to see how it is done.

Hi all,
can anyone give me pointers on how the overview cache for a zoomable
waveform display is organized?
One can see accurate and fast displays in a lot of applications but i guess
the rendering of this is not straightforward.
best greetings,
