Yes, I remember that many people have asked me of the possibility to crop
audio signals based on signal volume/amplitude. And new gates allow just
this.
One reason why I don't want to keep the old -g* behaviour is consistency.
If gates (-g*) can both change the buffer length, and mute signals,
there's nothing than separates them from effects (-e*). Now if we make
"can change the buffer length" a specific feature of -g* gates, we have a
logical way of separating gates and effects. Similarly, this makes it
easier to understand how hybrid types like -enm work. If it's under the
effect category (-e*), it will act like an effect even though the name say
"noise gate". Does this sound reasonable?
