Yes, that came up during the discussion with “tball” on IRC too, I just
forgot to write it down ;-)

But yeah, should be quite doable.

These are probably superior to whatever I can come up with, but something
simple but effective enough for simple audio visualization should be doable
without an external library, I think.

Thanks! I don't have much experience with signal analysis, so I will probably
take you up on that ;-)
