[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 807944] Re: No ReplayGain on FLAC files

[ubeagle]

However, I just noticed that when I turn off the ReplayGain plugin in
Rhythmbox, the FLAC file sounds louder, too. So with the enabled plugin
Rhythmbox seems to reduce the volume of every file - whether they have a
replaygain tag or not.

Now I am confused. Two questions come to mind:
1) Isn't it possible just to read out the gain tag of FLAC files like the metaflac command and apply the volume when playing? (Is there actually a player which can do that?)
2) If the answer to question no. 1 is no and there will be no way to do this in Banshee... is there a similar "ReplayGain" plugin (as there is in Rhythmbox) for Banshee which just normalises all songs to an average volume when playing?

Title:
  No ReplayGain on FLAC files

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have normalized MP3 files (using mp3gain) and normalised FLAC files
  (using foobar2000) on my hard drive. All files were normalised to 89
  db. Rhythmbox plays all files (MP3 + FLAC) at the same volume. In
  Banshee the FLAC files (especially those from newer CDs) are playing
  at a much higher volume than the MP3s. Therefore, I assume that
  ReplayGain doesn't seem to work with FLAC files in Banshee.

  I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with Banshee 2.0.1.
