Reverts the previous commit's always-on measurement. Decoding audio for every
monitor that has it spends CPU on a number almost nothing reads, which is the
wrong trade even though it did solve the chicken and egg of picking a
threshold without ever seeing a level.
Measure when something is actually going to use the reading instead:
- AudioDetection is on, as before, so nothing changes for a monitor that
scores on audio; or
- somebody asked. SharedData gains audio_level_until, a wall clock second
the capture thread keeps measuring up to. The monitor editor's new level
meter pushes it forward while it is on screen and the measurement lapses a
few seconds after the page is left, so nothing has to send a stop and a
crashed browser cannot leave a monitor decoding forever.
When the reading stops being wanted the decoder is released and the published
level and peak are cleared, so a stale number is not left looking current and
an old peak does not land on the next frame row written.
audio_level_until is carved out of analysis_pad rather than appended, so
SharedData stays 888 bytes and no existing offset moves; the static_asserts,
Memory.pm and Monitor.php are updated together and all three now agree the
field is at +880.
The meter itself is on the audio settings, shown whether or not
AudioDetection is checked, because the level is what you need in order to
choose a threshold. It draws the threshold currently in the input as a mark on
the bar so a reading can be judged against it before saving, and a monitor
whose zmc is not running reads "no reading" rather than a confident 0, which
would be indistinguishable from silence.
Frames.AudioLevel is therefore 0 again on monitors that do not score on audio.
That is what the graph already treats as "no audio data", so it draws no line
rather than a flat one.

Gating the measurement on AudioDetection made the graph useless for the job
it is most wanted for. AudioThreshold is a per-device number -- the floor on
one camera's mic is nothing like another's -- so it has to be measured before
it can be set, but nothing was measured until it was already set. Enabling
detection with a guessed threshold to find out what the real one should be is
backwards.
The level is now read for every monitor with decodable audio. AudioDetection
governs only whether crossing the threshold contributes a score, which is
what the setting is named for. shared_data->audio_alarm stays 0 when it is
off, so nothing downstream changes for a monitor that does not want audio
alarms.
Nothing here depends on Analysing either. The measurement is in
Monitor::Capture, which runs on whatever Analysing is set to, and frame rows
come from Event::AddFrame, which a continuously recording monitor reaches
through the RECORDING_ALWAYS path with motion detection off. So a monitor
that only records continuously still gets levels on its rows.
Since Monitor::Capture retries Open on every audio packet until it succeeds,
and that now happens for every monitor with audio rather than the handful with
detection on, AudioDetector remembers a codec it has already failed to find a
decoder for. Without it a stream ZoneMinder cannot decode logs a warning at
the audio packet rate for as long as the monitor runs. A reconnect bringing a
different codec is still tried.
The cost is one audio decode per monitor with audio, where before it was one
per monitor with detection enabled. That is small next to the video path, but
it is not nothing on a box with many cameras.

The cue strip under the video showed one flat red band per alarm period. It
tried to encode the score as a bar height, 'height: '+frame.Score+'px', but
never could: the frames ajax did not return Score, so every bar got
'height: undefinedpx' and fell back to the stylesheet's height: 100%. So the
motion level it looks like it is drawing has never actually been drawn.
Replace it with a line graph of both series over the length of the event. The
alarm periods stay, as a pale wash behind the lines, so nothing that was
readable before is lost.
The two series do not share a vertical scale. Audio level is 0-100 by
construction, but a motion score is a sum over zones with no upper bound, so
pinning both to 0-100 would flatten the audio line against the floor on any
event scoring above 100. Each is scaled to its own maximum, and hovering reads
out the exact values, which is what the numbers are wanted for. An event whose
rows are all zero -- recorded before the column existed, or by a monitor with
AudioDetection off -- draws no audio line at all, rather than a flat line
claiming silence was measured.
The readout goes into the existing #indicator, which already tracks the mouse
across the whole progress bar, instead of a second tooltip competing for the
same pixels.
The geometry lives in web/js/LevelGraph.js so it can be tested without a DOM,
and so the polyline and the hover readout cannot disagree about where a given
second sits. The bar grows from 1.25em to fit the graph, which needed two
consequential CSS changes: #indicator now spans the taller bar, and
.progressBox drops from 0.66 opacity to 0.25, because at full strength the
played part of the graph is unreadable behind it.
