The gfx stuff is over my head. I know it’s really just code, but I have mental block on that stuff. I could probably make a slider wiggle the way you want, but the embedable GUI part is something I couldn’t promise. I’ll maybe take another look one of these days if nobody comes along sooner.

Edit -
Actually wasn't that tough. This is a first attempt, and really kind of mess because it's hacked together from a couple different plugins, but it seems to work quite well. IDK if it really matches proper VU specs or whatever. Right now it's a nice smooth readout of the RMS based on an adjustable window. Has calibration slider. It also has actual audio output with (pre-meter) gain.

Haven't had a lot of times to test it. Hope it helps.
