Ugh ... time to get the eyes checked. 

A passive quick-read over this topic made me erroneously see "Levi" (as in the 
third son of Jacob and Leah) instead of "levl". So for a moment there, I wasn't 
sure what a Levi Chunk was -- other than some fat kid from the Bible.

Getting old stinks...

Basically correct.  A 'levl' chunk is used to store waveform visualization 
data, as per Broadcast Wave File spec:

No worries -- if you do need to re-import, RD will regenerate it as part of the 
import.  No data lost!

Cheers!
