Peak amplitude is just that - the largest abs sample value since you last
read it.
RMS is calculated by summing sqaured samples over some period of time then
taking the sqrt of the mean.
Limiters and compressors are much trickier.

Hi to developers
I'm search for realtime sound and peak gain indicator (db) algorithms and
formulas.
My first idea is all 16 bit absolute sound_sample_values in time interval
t1...t2 compare with ethalon sine wave
( where ethalon sine wave amplitude is 32000 and lenght/2 is t2-t1 )
Also for sound limiter (compressor) algorithms .
