get average minimum volume of soundfile

When playing a soundfile I would like to know what the average minimum volume is so I can send that value to be put in a scale object (to be used with other values that need to be scaled). I tried the through object but that does not give good results.

"average minimum volume" as a term doesn't make much sense to me - the minimum would always be 0.

I dunno, it seems like parts of this could use some rethinking? Perhaps go off from the mean RMS? Like subtract x percentage?
