 @section compand
-
 Compress or expand audio dynamic range.
 
 A description of the accepted options follows.
 
 @table @option

 @item attacks
 @item decays
-Set list of times in seconds for each channel over which the instantaneous
-level of the input signal is averaged to determine its volume.
-@option{attacks} refers to increase of volume and @option{decays} refers
-to decrease of volume.
-For most situations, the attack time (response to the audio getting louder)
-should be shorter than the decay time because the human ear is more sensitive
-to sudden loud audio than sudden soft audio.
-Typical value for attack is @code{0.3} seconds and for decay @code{0.8}
-seconds.

 @item points
-Set list of points for transfer function, specified in dB relative to maximum
-possible signal amplitude.
-Each key points list need to be defined using the following syntax:
-@code{x0/y0 x1/y1 x2/y2 ...}.

+@code{x0/y0 x1/y1 x2/y2 ....}
 
-The input values must be in strictly increasing order but the transfer
-function does not have to be monotonically rising.
-The point @code{0/0} is assumed but may be overridden (by @code{0/out-dBn}).
-Typical values for the transfer function are @code{-70/-70 -60/-20}.

+function are @code{-70/-70|-60/-20}.
 
 @item soft-knee
-Set amount for which the points at where adjacent line segments on the
-transfer function meet will be rounded. Defaults is @code{0.01}.
+Set the curve radius in dB for all joints. Defaults to 0.01.
 
 @item gain
-Set additional gain in dB to be applied at all points on the transfer function
-and allows easy adjustment of the overall gain.
-Default is @code{0}.
+Set additional gain in dB to be applied at all points on the transfer function.
+This allows easy adjustment of the overall gain. Defaults to 0.
 
 @item volume
 Set initial volume in dB to be assumed for each channel when filtering starts.
-This permits the user to supply a nominal level initially, so that,
-for example, a very large gain is not applied to initial signal levels before
-the companding has begun to operate. A typical value for audio which is
-initially quiet is -90 dB. Default is @code{0}.

 @item delay
-Set delay in seconds. Default is @code{0}. The input audio
-is analysed immediately, but audio is delayed before being fed to the
-volume adjuster. Specifying a delay approximately equal to the attack/decay
-times allows the filter to effectively operate in predictive rather than
-reactive mode.
