fix: Add noise gate to prevent amplifying silence artifacts 

Add noise gate threshold at peak > 256 (-42dB) to prevent dynamic gain
from amplifying quantization noise and hardware noise floor. This fixes
crackling, buzzing, and static-like noise when HDMI audio is at very
low volume or during silence.

Without the gate, signals below -42dB (peak < 256) would get 8x gain
applied, amplifying noise floor to audible levels. Now these signals
pass through unmodified, eliminating the artifacts.
