The term "normalize" usually implies that the audio data is changed to
reflect the normalized sound.  Replaygain, on the other hand, does not
change the audio data.  Rather, it writes gain adjustment values to the
tags.

You can have SlimServer process the Replaygain values, or have
SlimServer ignore them.

Most of the time the Replaygain values turn out to be less than zero,
so if processed the volume will be lowered.  That will reduce the
signal to noise ratio.

In my experience, with my system, in my room, with my ears, I have not
been able to detect a meaningful difference.  I set SlimServer to use
"Smart Gain" and it works for me.
