I would prefer to use that but it's in pure C++ as well as GTK2 so I have
to convert it to c and gtk3 :-(
well it depends on what you want. tristan's has level markings etc. as part
of the meter widget, and is very close to a pure C widget. mine has a very
efficient and C-ish drawing method that was created with gtk3 in mind.
its not exactly atypical to find that what you want doesn't exist and you
have to blend bits and piece.
