Meters linearity...

[ustk]

@Christoph-Hart I always found the behaviour of the meters weird. They are linear... Is that intentional?
I had a glance at the source, and while the meter class setPeak function has a forcelinear option, it is apparently not used in the processor headers.
Rather, they seem to be directly constructed using the drawStereoMeter method, and this one linearises the values like so:

void VuMeter::drawStereoMeter(Graphics &g)
{
	const float vL = jmin(1.0f, (l + 100.0f) / 100.0f);
	const float vR = jmin(1.0f, (r + 100.0f) / 100.0f);

	getLaf()->drawStereoMeter2(g, *this, type, vL, vR);
}

shouldn't it be instead:

void VuMeter::drawStereoMeter(Graphics &g)
{
	const float vL = jmin(1.0f, Decibels::decibelsToGain(l));
	const float vR = jmin(1.0f, Decibels::decibelsToGain(r));

	getLaf()->drawStereoMeter2(g, *this, type, vL, vR);
}
