FWIW, some modern TV sets include a compressor to try and do just this.
Dunno how successful they are though - I'd expect to hear it in operation
and be intrusive.

Yup, my new Sony flatpanel does this. Usually it's very effective too, but
occasionally gets caught out and in the middle of 'Millionaire' as it
happens too! When the last contestant has left the platform, and the music
strikes up for the next 'Fastest Finger First' round, the telly gets fooled
into thinking the ads have just started and mutes the sound down!! LOL No
bad thing perhaps. ;-)
