No, but it does require some support in the player firmware to do fine-grained volume control on a per track basis after decoding.


Dean,

There is a reason why the flac flag to turn on replaygain is:

--apply-replaygain-which-is-not-lossless

Right, any time you change the gain in a digital system you lose information.

Yannzola asked if it would be "down sampled" which is probably a misuse of terminology. (Downsampling, means to change the sample rate of a signal.)

So the answer stands, we'll need fine-grained volume control in the player to do the gain control, it won't be "down sampled", the gain will be applied after the decoding in a lossy manner.
