.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
Each of these functions performs hard limiting.
.sp
.LP
For monaural signals, the following equation is used:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
dst[i] = low[0]           if src[i] < low[0]
dst[i] = src[i]           if low[0] \(<= src[i] < high[0]
dst[i] = high[0]          if src[i] \(>= high[0]
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
where \fBi = 0, 1, ..., (n - 1)\fR.
.sp
.LP
For stereo signals, the following equation is used:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
dst[2*i] = low[0]         if src[2*i] < low[0]
dst[2*i] = src[2*i]       if low[0] \(<= src[2*i] < high[0]
dst[2*i] = high[0]        if src[2*i] \(>= high[0]

dst[2*i+1] = low[1]       if src[2*i+1] < low[1]
dst[2*i+1] = src[2*i+1]   if low[1] \(<= src[2*i+1] < high[1]
dst[2*i+1] = high[1]      if src[2*i+1] \(>= high[1]
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
where \fBi = 0, 1, ..., (n - 1)\fR.
