Hello again, gwern. After some investigation, here's my final impression.
The original manpage included the following line:
vorbisgain -a -f -r "music/*.ogg"
We changed that, since -r would not work if no directories were given:
vorbisgain -a -f -r music/
That brings us to your problem, which I believe can be solved with the
option "-s". As described in the manpage:
"-s, --silent"
Sliently skip any non-Vorbis files found. Vorbis files that can't be processed
for some reason are skipped as well, though not silently. Default is to stop
when such files are encountered.
I believe this would solve your problem, since vorbisgain.c will try and
process all files unless -s is set. Please try this and let me know if
it works for you. If that's the case, I will fix the manpage and push a
new vorbisgain package revision. Otherwise, we'll contact upstream.
Regards.
