Ah, I was talking about digital compressing (for example, within

You mean more then the (almost) infinite headroom of double precision numbers
(used inside jack an ardour)? - No, not really...
And compression _reduces_ the volume. Only after the compression you raise the
level of the over-all reduced sound again and get a decreased dynamic range.

Of course
you'd need to lower your input
volume to give headroom for the push/pop notes.
No, the compressor will lower the volume of the push/pop notes so that
you can turn up the overall amplification afterwards.
The input should be set as high as possible without distortion on the
loudest parts of the signal.
