While the discussion is interesting, one needs to consider the purpose.
For a
pure sine wave, certain relationships are stable and hold true. For a
complex
waveform, like voice, the relationship between peak power and average/RMS
power
not a straightforward relationship.

Hi Evan, This is not the point of contention. I think, at times, some
posters get the wrong idea about the subject being discussed. I think all
thoses in the discussion will agree with your statement. The issue is
whether or not the words "RMS Power" are a _correct_ term to use for what
some of us are saying should be called _Average Power_.

It is a discussion of terminology, not math or physics. a.k.a. what to
_call_ this power, not what it _is_.
