Have a look at the internal object [slope~] help patch. There is a subpatch for peak-meter there.
Now, the thing is that the peak level will have a visual decay, but not the RMS, and I don't know how to easily deal with that.
That's exactly how the big analog consoles do it. Or maybe there is a decay, but a much quicker one, whereas for the peak there is a even a short hold time.
That is to say I've always missed a more proper object in Pd vanilla to offer rms and peak level feed for [vu].
In the ELSE library I developed a variant of [env~] to report peak detection
You can't have proper peak detection using [env~]. It will always calculate an rms value.
