Most meters you see on digital hardware are IEC-268 Digital Peak Meters.
Red happens at 0dB, the green/yellow division is application dependent.
VU (Volume Unit) meters are something very different, and not very helpful
for digital systems.

Is there any standard about those green yellow and red zones on a vu
meter ? Or each developpers choose the way he will manage this ?
Somebody mentioned a standard long ago, don't know what it was, probably every
implementation is different ;). I'd think that red means overload for most
though.
