+ * SECTION:element-audiodynamic
+ *
+ * This element can act as a compressor or expander. A compressor changes the
+ * amplitude of all samples above a specific threshold with a specific ratio,
+ * a expander does the same for all samples below a specific threshold. If
+ * soft-knee mode is selected the ratio is applied smoothly.
