Steve - are you planning to punt this as a potential replacement for the existing Audacity Normalize effect's DC removal option? I thought you wanted a separate (additional) tool for removing DC offset. I think that (basic) DC offset correction should be a feature of the Normalize effect. The Norma...

Before you trash it, could you post some (uncorrected) audio sample please

Q. That audio sample is not a real recording - you synthesized it to have this problem. Does this ever happen with real audio recordings? A. Yes I cheated ;) but yes this can occur (though not usually as badly) if a strongly asymmetric waveform is recorded through a sound card that has very poor li...
