Where can I find docs about audio standards in the industry (max DB, Sampling rates...). Best if they are classified by domain (TV, Cinema, Video games, music). Actual standards would be well appreciated (I claasify audio cd standards as old...).
my question is generic so don't hesitate posting your answer even for 1 particular domain.
Many thanks in advance,

Regarding levels there is an article by Jeff Towne http://transom.org/2011/levels/ – excellent explanation of every aspect of this complicated area. It's not so easy to say "max DB standard".
ATSC/85 is the US broadcast standard. They have a really well done and extensive PDF at ATSC.org
Try to get your hands on the NBC, CBS, and major broadcasters spec sheets. Ive seen them for delivery requirements for broadcast.
