Many other audio devices use a (mostly negative) db scale as well. The thing is, most don't display anything at all (either using a knob and no display, or a graphical bar), but Rockbox needs to display something. The db display means something, any other method would be completely arbitrary. -- Jonas H rasher(at)rasher(dot)dk
