[mythtv] [mythtv-commits] Ticket #1104: multi channel audiosupport

[Eric Bosch]

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but this sounded like
pretty closely related.  Is there a way to add dynamic compression or
automatic audio volume leveling to give some control over some of those
channels that like to crank the volume up on commercials by about 25
decibels?
