[Fluxus] fluxa compressor

[Kassen]

Dave,

Fluxa's compressor seems a bit odd. At the invitation of the helpfile
note that you're not sure about it I went to investigate.

It does seem to do something; it's quite hard to make Fluxa clip, but
after that the weirdness (Or my lack of understanding) starts. 
I don't think I can get it to respond to the (comp ) function, at 
least I don't hear a difference. I suppose it's possible that it
doesn't do a thing and my soundcard just happens to overdrive in a
flattering way...

There is also some weirdness in the source; the compressor's source
claims it's two channels but as far as I can tell it is only mono. It
only gets a single Sample as a signal (and I think the Sample
data-type is always mono elsewhere, even when loading stereo wave
files) and there is only a single instance, unlike the EQ. However,
panning with the optional third parameter to (play ) does work, which
has me a bit baffled.

Also odd is the "env" variable, which gets reset at the start of each
block, but seems relative to the wave form so I have a gut-feeling it
should persist across blocks.

I'd like to try to fix this stuff, I do like the idea of a compressor
and EQ on the main output. Do you have any hints on any of this?
Places to start or known issues not in the comments?

Yours,
Kas.
