Description
Running the volume detect filter on e.g. 32bit float audio does not work correctly because it converts internally to 16bit integer format (see docs: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#volumedetect)
It would be great if the filter supported such audio files.

Yeah. In my case I was normalizing ~1700 files (convolution reverb impulse responses) most of which had peaks over 0 dBFS.
Floating point audio isn't too uncommon a thing to want normalize, and the reason to normalize it is often precisely because it can have peaks over 0 dBFS.

It is already available in astats filter, -af astats=measure_overall=Peak_level:measure_perchannel=0
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
It would give no real benefits, unless you care for >0 dB samples.
