 Collects and prints statistics about the audio stream, especially the volume.
 These statistics are especially intended to help adjusting the volume while
 avoiding clipping.
-The volumes are printed in dB and compatible with the volume audio filter.
+The volumes are printed in dB and compatible with the volume audio filter,
+they are always rounded towards -0dB.
+.sp 1
+The 'n_samples' field is the total number of samples seen by the filter.
+The 'mean_volume' field is the root mean square.
+The 'max_volume' field is exactly what it says.
+The 'histogram_Xdb fields count how many samples were at -XdB, for X just
+below max_volume.
+.sp 1
+For example, if max_volume is -7dB and histogram_7dB is 19, 'volume=7' will
+not cause clipping and 'volume=8' will cause clipping on exactly 19 samples.
