Sound/DSP from within plugins?

Llorean:
Well, considering the speed of the processors on the players, you're going to get *much* better results pre-tagging for replaygain than attempting to do something similar realtime.

If you say so sir.

Adion:
There was a user (not sure if I read it on the forums or in the feature requests) that wanted a normalizer/compressor in real-time so that silent parts would get played louder for listening in a car for example.
Replaygain is very suited for volume differences between songs, but not for volume differences within a song.

Anyway I'm now working on my stopwatch update that will play beeps at regular intervals, and when you press a button, and it's beginning to work quite nice.

This is a very late comment, but just to get the discussion going again:

A compressor might not be that useful for music, but it's essential, if you
want to play back recordings of lectures or other live recordings in a
noisy environment.

The original Archos jukeboxes have a hardware gain control.
There's a setting that adjusts the volume every 20ms (or so)

A fast reaction time like this ensures that the lecturer can be heard
clearly, but that coughs or other load audience noises don't damage your
speakers and/or hearing.
