Someone really needs to build some sort of logarithmic volume filter into linux... a way to keep the normal volume scenes loud enough to hear but reduce the volume on the loud scenes. This way you can listen to a movie in the middle of the night and not annoy your neighbors and not need to keep lowering it everytime an action scene hits.... how is this not a thing already!
@freemo it's called a compressor.
It's existed in many forms since around the 1920s.
@freemo @Pantangelini looks like this is what you want https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects
