potential volume warning

I've been modding the Rockbox oscilloscope plugin (found in the demos folder)
This is my 2nd version after many bugs

I've managed to get the colour to change in response to volume level.
Blue are quietest and red is the "loudest" colour.
There's 15 colours total.
My 1.0 had a 20 colour rainbow but the colours changed too fast for the human eye to appreciate.
The left and right audio channels are independent so sometimes they're different colours!

Info and files on my github if anyone's interested :)

I currently only have code for the Ipod video 5.5 but I can compile it for other DACs on request, just let me know!

For those of you unfamiliar with rockbox, it has a built-in oscilloscope which is pretty cool.

I loved the Rockbox oscilloscope demo so much that I decided to edit and recompile the source code on my ipod to make some changes. (I hope I'm not breaking any copyright laws)

1. cycling through colours. I can't decide which colours I prefer though

2. the "rate" of the colour cycling vaguely responds to the music. This is done by increasing the cycle rate when the volume suddenly jumps, which overall makes the colour change in time with beat drops, ect (I'm working on a better system)

If you've never used the oscilloscope plugin you can check it out, it's a nice green colour by default.
