Comment 12 for bug 976650

Yeah I agree that 8 bits should be plenty for storing the waveform data. My latest patch (comment 10) does precompute the scaling and I do convert from CSAMPLE in analyserwaveform.h (which is where the 127 scaling factor comes in).

Can you test the patch and see if the waveform scaling works well for you? If so, I am satisfied that this particular bug is solved. I see separate detail for bass, mids, and treble, and the new waveform is now much more useful to me.

However the CPU of the waveform analyzer is a big problem, mostly due to the filters and not helped by my addition of a power function. That's a different bug however.
