This is how quickly the quiet passages get "ramped up". This value is shifted left 16 bits and expressed as an integer. 0x2000 increases the volume by a factor of two per second. Do not set this very high or very low in comparison to the default values, or strange things can happen. An example of valid values would be 0x3000 to increase the volume by a factor of 3 per second, or 0x1800 for a factor of 1.5 per second.Parameter 2: Minimum Volume
Voladj attempts to make this the quietest thing you hear in units of sample magnitude. To disable voladj completely, set this value to 0. Very high values will confuse the algorithm, so keep it under a few thousand.Parameter 3: Headroom
Note: More research needed on exactly how this affects the player.
Meant to prevent hasty adjustments to volume when the clipping limit is reached. Currently ignored by the code, changing it has no effect.Parameter 4: Real Silence
Note: More research needed to verify whether or not it's actually ignored.
Expressed in terms of sample magnitude. Sounds below this level are assumed to be silence or tape hiss. When the music falls below this level, the amplitude will be gradually reduced to normal instead of being gradually increased. For example, if you raise this value to 200 decimal, the software will tend to amplify tape hiss at the ends of songs less frequently.Parameter 5: Fake Silence
Expressed in terms of sample magnitude. Sounds at this level will be increased to Minimum Volume. This value must be greater than Real Silence. Increasing this value has the effect of putting a ceiling on how much a very quiet passage will be amplified. For example, if you increase this to decimal 1000, an extremely quiet instrument buried in tape hiss will not be amplified all the way to the top of the volume scale, but rather will be increased by a more conservative amount.
