Mynb,
Your comment stung me, I really thought otherwise and it's bothered me
since.

I think* I've managed to attenuate with dither, albeit in a fixed
fashion, by doing this in convert.conf and setting the regular volume to
100.

In convert.conf, set the "flc flc" line as follows:

flc flc * *
[flac] -dcs $START$ $END$ -- $FILE$ | [sox] -q -t wav - -t flac
-C 0 $RESAMPLE$ - gain -30 dither

Replace -30 with whatever dB of attenuation you want.
Darren
