   I'm still having a difficult time understanding what he   
   wants to be defined. We're telling him what 0 dBFS means   
   because that's really the only significant point in a   
   sampling system. He's asking for some arbitrary conversion   
   to a sine wave of arbitrary amplitude, and as far as I know,   
   there's no way to calculate that from anything but an   
   infinite number of samples. I don't have time for that.
