In case you didn't pick up on that particular part, but having the
same basic functionality twice in different code is what the entire
discussion here is trying to avoid.
So if you can reuse the existing ebur128 code that Clement wrote for
the analysis filter that would be the best situation.

Apart from that, the filter looks extremely long for doing a lot of
the same things the r128 filter we have already does, couldn't it just
be build on top of the analysis the existing r128 filter already
provides, and just adjust the audio based on its data?
