type "flac -help" at a command prompt for details on the switches. Level of encoding isn't that important, you'll get the same audio quality. Replay gain causes a tag to be added which a player program can use to normalise all the tracks you are playing to a consistent loudness. Be careful doing WAV first with EAC and then producing FLAC separately: the advantage ofgoing straight to FLAC is that EAC will look up the metadata and populate your tag information for you, which won't happen if you do it in separate steps - you'll have to use something else for the lookup.
