Right now, I have not even tried to make a meter, I just want to get the peak
value out of the subroutine and print it from outside. I can print it from
the inside but can't even figure out how to get it out.

One sample I started working with (there are others but this is one) can be
found here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9344888/getting-max-amplitude-for-an-audio-file-per-second

In the def show_peak(bus, message):

there is:

peaks.append(message.structure['peak'][0])

but this is more of a "batch" type setup rather than an interactive one.

So let's say I do something like this instead:

        #peaks.append(message.structure['peak'][0])
        zpeak = message.structure['peak'][0]
        #print "message.structure: "
        print zpeak
        return zpeak

along with making a jack source and sink instead of a file source and fake
sink.

I can get the peaks printed in there via the print zpeak.

But I am going around in circles (actually, circles is too clean a shape) in
my head trying to figure out how to get that info out as it comes in.

Once I ge that, then I have to figure out how to hook it up to a meter widget.

One possibility I have looked at basing this on is this:
