It means you can get visual indications of certain parameters,
extremely useful for compressors.
See for instance how it looks in ardour:

The two meters on the right are feedback controls which indicate the
current amplitude and the current amount of compression.

My implementation just adds to the list so the feedback meters are
below the control parameters. Anything fancier and we can use Flam or
the *.ui framework.

Ah, good to know. The changes were not that extensive so I will wait
for your commit before continuing.

Cool!
