Great!

Done.

Skip "Such that"; you already have that before the list.

This will fail if peak_level == 0.f. Is this intended?

[peah-webrtc, 2016/06/27 22:51:47]

Yes, the peak level detector should ensure a minimum peak level that is greated
than 0.

By relying on that, it is not needed to check so that the division by peak_level
does not involve a division by 0.
