Use less arbitrary decay weights for the gain GUIs

Browse source 
This solves the same problem as #27 but in a cleaner way. The previous
commits refactored the smoothing to make it possible to use the
calculations in plugin code to do the same thing as #27, but then I
realized that that doesn't make much sense since the time to decay into
complete silence isn't very meaningful for this kind of computation.
