[vorbis] Vorbisgain in OggDropPXd

[Ross Levis]

Hi Thomas

Vorbisgain does provide a switch to set the album gain to a specified 
value when using the Album/Audiophile mode,  however, WinVorbis leaves 
this at the default.  If there is some compelling reason to alter this 
value then I could add support for it in a future revision.

As you probably know, replaygain works out what the volume should be 
based on the average loudness of each track.  All it does is append 
comment tags to the ogg files so that the player knows what volume to 
play them.  The volume of the audio in the ogg file is not altered at 
all from the original.  If you could manually alter the default gain of 
individual files (Single/Radio mode) then surely that would defeat the 
purpose of replaygain in the first place.

BTW: WinVorbis (for Windows) and Vorbix (for Linux) v1.35 have been 
released.

Cheers,
Ross Levis
