Another quick question: Is Dolby B/C available as software and, if not,
why?

It would be totally pointless. Once you have the signal rendered into
numbers, there are no longer any dynamic range limitations that would
merit Dolby (B or C).


What about decoding existing Dolby-encoded recordings?


How would you perform the calibration?


The same way you ALWAYS have to do it with cassettes that have no tones
on them... by ear.

It is sad and annoying. And it is never quite right.
