I thought of that.

It doesn't work.

The FDM rewrites the "wow" property at frame rate, 
forcing it to 1.  

Why it is so insistent on writing a value to the 
property tree -- and yet equally insistent on not 
calculating the correct value -- is hard to 
understand.

But I emphasize that I don't care about wow.  I 
am quite content to use the gear-compression-norm
property.  The "wow" issue is an escapee from a 
different thread;  it is *not* one of the amazing 
FDM initialization bugs.
