yes, definitely, the breakdown is useful and it is not going anywhere. I
often use it to get an overview of some audio clip/segment (dynamics,
stereo/multichannel image, DC-offsets, ..) without having to leave my
console window. For instance when developing '-chorder', I used '-ev' all
the time to verify that the channel routings are happening correctly.

Actually there is such as a feature already. The '-eS' (audio stamper) was
added to 1.9dev1 back in 2001 already. Audio stampers can be inserted in
the audio path (they behave like normal chain ops).
Then to use the stamp contents, one can insert '-ksv', which converts the
amplitude (or optionally, RMS value calculated from the signal) as a
source of control values for any parameter. One could easily implement
more objects like '-ksv' that do actions based on audio stamp contents
(i.e. based on signal amplitude).

The mail email indeed did not reach the list, so quoting it at length in
this mail.
