Hello again,
The documentation for the GUI VU meter is pretty vague and I couldn't find any info on how to use the peak indicator. So this is my idea for a working peak.
I would really like to have the peak indicator slowly reset (eg [line] but then you miss the peaks occurring during that time or get interference from the current values

Check out [peakenv~] and [peakenv_hold~] from iemlib.

@Maelstorm Thank you, that certainly simplifies things!
Cheers
