Clipping nor analogue distortion by the way is the problem. As said,
it's the range compression to _avoid_ the clipping that they have to
do when they master at these insane averages -- when you then later
play them back at

Mmm, and now that I look at it again:
ampl = 32767.0 / pow(10, -dbfs / 20);
is the same as:
ampl = 32767 * pow(10, dbfs / 20);
which looks somewhat nicer.
How about a copyright, license,

And your senator is supposed to do what? Pass a law saying that clipping is
illegal? Maybe we can pass another that states that distortion is illegal,
and get rid of all those fuzz boxes on electric guitars.
And throw anyone in jail
