I bread boarded Peter's set up and it works great. The only variation I had was I put the LED and LDR in a sleeve of shrink tubing. (I bought a bag of the stuff at Dayton for next-to-nothing and I'm going to have to live to be 150 to use it all up. If it doesn't move and I can't eat it, it ends up in shrink tubing...)

Another AGC idea. ?
Uses an LED & LDR. ?Louder signals brighten the LED which reduces the LDR's value which reduces the volume, so compressing the audio.?
