i believe thomas has figured this all out. it would be great if he
could comment on what is going on with his totalmix implementation,
especially if you have time to work on it.

remember not to bother with much more than about 70Hz, since your
monitor doesn't do much than that. i usually do meter updates at
either 50 or 100 times a second.

thomas' code contains the results of the communications i had with RME
about this. it was unclear if the conversions should go into the
driver or not.
