Doing a little more google I found it by myself.

VLevel keeps your music from making you jump out of your seat, and it 
keeps you from having to fiddle with the volume constantly. It's 
different from other dynamic compressors because it looks ahead. You can 
think of VLevel as someone who knows your music by heart, and turns the 
volume up during quiet passages, but smoothly turns it back down when he 
knows a loud part is coming. It's great for making CDs to listen to in 
your car, or to play background music on your computer. VLevel is 
currently a LADSPA plugin and a command-line filter.
