Self-replying here: I see that the peak level meters in the main window
do respond to incoming sound, jumping from the usual background levels
of about 30 (unfortunately, I'm developing this in a noisy basement),
but jumping to about 90 when I speak into the mic.

BTW, this is in RedHat Linux 7.2 with pd version 0.34
