Ear blasting youtube on headphones

I like to watch youtube on my knoppix box and to use headphones. The problem is that so many videos have wildly different audio levels. Some videos are extremely quiet, while others are really loud. So what happens is that you turn the volume way up for the quiet video, then BAM! another video starts playing at an ear shattering level.

I don't really want to experience the full dynamic range of loudness on my headphones.

Windows has loudness equalization built-in, why not linux? Just a simple limiter will do.

Something like this, but for your computer audio:
