Thank You for your continued support and contributions!
I'm not sure I understand at all what you're proposing. How would it work? How would it offer any benefit over simply changing the volume? Or setting a pre-amp to limit the volume? Or replaygaining your files to limit maximum effective loudness?
yes, it should be possible as a plugin as well, but since you can't do that much when the plugin is running it would not be so nice. Would you want your limiter also to raise the volume when the music gets too quiet, or only to limit the volume during loud parts?
So you want to limit the value of the volume setting, not the actual volume itself (which also depends on the audio file being played) ? Can you explain In which cases that would be useful?Also, I don't see how that could be done with a plugin...

It is said that prolonged listening to certain volume levels can cause hearing damage. While the *recommended* max volume level is 70dB, most DAPs can go up to 100dB, so maybe it's not such a bad idea to have the option to put limits on that, just because it might be difficult to manually do it in certain occasions.
