title: Simple Babymonitor with Bass.DLL
body: <p>I am trying to program a simple Babymonitor for Windows (personal use).
  The babymonitor should just detect the dB level of the microphone and triggers at a certain volume.</p>
  
  <p>After some research, I found the Bass.dll library and came across it's function <code>BASS_ChannelGetLevel</code>, which is great but seems to have limitations and doesn't fit my needs (Peak equals to a DWORD value).</p>
  
  <p>In the examples I found a livespec example which is "almost" what I need. The example uses <code>BASS_ChannelGetData</code>, but I don't quite know how to handle the returned array... </p>
  
  <p>I want to keep it as simple as possible: Detect the volume from the microphone as dB or any other value (e.g. value 0-MAXINT). </p>
  
  <p>How can this be done with the Bass.dll library?</p>
