Package: wmwave
Version: 0.4-8
Followup-For: Bug #406947
There's a bug in wmwave's interpretation of dBm figures. With dBm, the
range values are zero. The following patch will give reasonable
indications. The patch assumes that the absolute minimum value for level
and noise is -128.0dBm. My atheros card reports -96dBm as being the
noise level.
