The linear mode and scanning, both input to filter and filter output itself
should give similar results.
The dynamic mode now actually can be configured how aggressively it will
expand / compress audio.
Because current state of filter have numerous issues:

 - using unmaintained old libebur128 module, when same functionality is
already available in existing filter.
 - code duplication and functionality duplication due the above
 - buggy limiter - causing clipped samples randomly
 - buggy first and final frame filtering
 - over-complicated flow path for dynamic code in filter
 - excessive compressing of audio dynamic range, causing extreme smaller
LRU from output audio
 - and probably more that I forgot

Some options from this patch can be probably removed, like attack/release
options, and just use defaults as currently in patch.
