I don't see autolevels, unless it's added elsewhere?
from postprocess.c:164

static char *replaceTable[]=
{
         "default",      "hdeblock:a,vdeblock:a,dering:a",
         "de",           "hdeblock:a,vdeblock:a,dering:a",
         "fast",         "x1hdeblock:a,x1vdeblock:a,dering:a",
         "fa",           "x1hdeblock:a,x1vdeblock:a,dering:a",
         "ac",           "ha:a:128:7,va:a,dering:a",
         NULL //End Marker
};
