That's correct. There isn't (and shouldn't be) any standards for
recording volume of CD:s.

There are loads of normalisation tools, for all platforms, that you
preferably use on the WAV files (or whatever input format you use)
before encoding them.

A better solution might be to make a tool that sets a tag on the OGG
file, according to which your player then can adjust it's volume. That
way, you don't need to risk damaging the "original" sample. There is
some sort of semi-standard for that, for MP3:s.
