Dynamic Range Metering

[hifi_swlon (Steve)]

And, given the fact that Roon will not ever have the ability to use Plugins, preventing me from using any VST plugins for metering that I already have, it would be great to see this built in.

Brian discussed fairly recently some ideas he had for potentially incorporating AU/VST plugins into the RoonBridge architecture in the (hopefully not too distant) future. See his post below.

HQPlayer / iZotope upsampling + Roon metadata = Killer combo [VST/AU Plugins]

After that discussion, I thought of another potential solution: host the plugin inside of RoonBridge, and pipe the audio through that process. Plugin configuration would happen locally on the machine where RoonBridge was running. Not perfect, but probably the appropriate compromise for supporting pre-existing plugin systems with architectural limitations.
