I thought about that. I know some C, but my knowledge of DSP programming
using low-level languages is next to nonexistent. What I'm thinking of
is nothing really fancy: besides a general meter, just measuring the
amplitude in separate bands to gain a rough idea of where some peaks
might be. I suppose it's just a matter of splitting up the signal into
bands and measuring them individually, but I'm not sure how to do that.
Maybe the code Julien has would elucidate this for me.

Cheers,
S.M.
