XMMS CLIPPING INDICATOR
-----------------------

A visualization plugin for xmms that indicates if a sound file is clipping.

Please note that this distribution is very temporary! I'm not an experienced
programmer. So I still have to figure out how to make a ./configure script for
this plugin. The entire installation is a hack frankly. If your xmms plugins
are not in /usr/lib/xmms/... you'll have to adjust the Makefile and
libclipping.la

run:

	$ make
	$ su
	<insert pass>
	# make install

But don't do it while xmms is running. Well... you can do it, but xmms will
probably crash at a certain point, or won't recognize the plugin.

Anyway, start xmms after the plugin is installed and press CTRL + V... you
should see the plugin listed there with some other crap. Configure it and
enable it.

The clipping is recognized by scanning the file for samples with the maximum
value. When several continuous samples have the same value ((2^16)/2) then
clipping is said to occur. I'm not even sure that's the correct way to do it.
But that's how I do it.
