Waveform progress bar looks odd w/ end-processing visualized.

[RJ Skerry-Ryan]

The waveform progress bar lags behind the actual waveform and this is confusing. Worse yet, when the waveform reaches 100%, the progress bar just stops at about 90% and sits there until the final processing (e.g. replaygain calculation) is done and then it goes away.

I propose when the waveform progress reaches 100% we should draw text on the waveform like "Finalizing" or something to let the user know it isn't done yet.

Agree, but what is the additional progress bar good for at all?
If a waveform is analyzed on fist load we have the "Analyzing" text and the waveform overview grows gradually with the analyzing progress. If the analysis is finished, the waveform is completely shown. That alone is simple and functional enough IMO.

The current implementation is the result of fixing:
Bug #1008721 Reflect analyser finished by waveform overview
Bug #1085701 woverview axes as progress when silence
Bug #1100478 no progress bar when waveform already analyzed
Bug #840860 reload track metadata changes gain of a playing track

I agree that this was done driven by the technical point of view not the aesthetic one.
Any Idea to beautify it?

For now I will try RJ's proposal.
