## There is no way to do this with the RealPlayer.

..some of the reasons.

If you want to monitor the "system sound level", then
you have to have access to the system "wave out" sample
stream.

I do not think there is any way to get this, unless you yourself
are packing the "wave out" buffers.

In the case of Real Player, they are packing the buffers, and
so they are the only ones that could conceivably provide the
wave data analysis necessary to compute the play intensity
level.

Real Player does provide very extensive scripting from Javascript,
but (as per above)  they don't provide access to intensity level.

WinAmp (see WinAmp.com) provides very extensive possibilities
for a programmer to access the raw datastream of audio that
is being decompressed from a number of formats.. but alas
it is not javascriptable, and if you are "in" with "real" then
WinAmp is probably not an option.
