subwoofer/xmax backoff

[siraaris]

Looking at some of the old or existing issues, I note that there's been mention of adding a mechanism other than the Compressor to alleviate subwoofer excursion, back off from selected frequencies gracefully when Xmax for example would be exceeded, or if the driver was about to go beyond a nominal value of distortion.

I think Charles Laub implemented something like this in LADSPA via parallel Linkwitz Riley transforms that are exercised based on configuration modelled from the T/S driver parameters.

Alternative one could measure drivers, and somehow define limits from actual measurements.

Some mention was made in previous Issues that @HEnquist you had some thoughts on how to implement something but at the time (pre v2.0) was too complicated, and that you might revisit it later.

Are there any plans or thoughts in this area?

Feel free to close this down if it's not on the roadmap or consideration for the future!
