jkmeter

Hello,

I would like to suggest "jkmeter" for including in next release of 64studio.

copy/paste from REDME file:
"Jkmeter is a horizontal or vertical bargraph level meter based on the ideas of mastering guru Bob Katz.
A K-meter displays both the true RMS level and the digital peak level.  In this implementation the RMS meter
is about 15% faster than an VU, but without the overshoot. This provides a good indication of subjective loudness."

[dependencies are available on the same page ... libclthreads (>= 2.4.0) and libclxclient (>= 3.6.1)]

I would like also suggest item "meterbridge jellyfish" in Sound & Video menu.
I think it is very important tool for mastering to check mono stereo compatibility and it would be nice to get
it simply from menu.
Commands can looks like this:
meterbridge -t jf alsa_pcm:playback_1 alsa_pcm:playback_2 -n PHASEmeter 
meterbridge -t vu alsa_pcm:playback_1 alsa_pcm:playback_2 -n VUmeter

All of them (Jkmeter, VUmeter and PHASEmeter) can be nested in some submenu e.g. "measurement tools" to
avoid overblown Sound & Video menu.

Cheers
