Hi,

Hmm...: If replaygain is something like the "mastzer volume", I see no problem 
with _applying_ the gain for audiophile, but I see the problem that the gain might 
be _computed_ incorrectly (e.g. making a silent track of a CD very loud).

(The problem is that old CDs have their peak as low as -10dB, while recent one are 
up to 0dB)
