I'm generating sine wave test tones using jaaa, with the output level
set to -18 dBFS (this being the EBU Rec. R.68 Alignment Level). I'm
measuring the output using jnoisemeter. If I connect them directly via
jack then jnoisemeter indicates -18 dB as expected. If I insert
liquidsoap into the chain as above it indicates - 20.5 dB.

FWIW I also use the jmeters Peak Programme Meter (with the option -g 6
to get the sensitivity per R.68, i.e. '4' on the scale at - 18 dBFS).
This also shows the 2.5 dB discrepancy.

Not sure about output.file(sine(),...) - I'll have a think.
