Clive, thanks for the example.  I understand.

If the player's digital attenuation were incorporated into the
replaygain adjustment, I would expect that if the user were to increase
the volume mid-track, then he could cause clipping.

To continue with your example:
- File peaks at -3dB, replaygain is 6dB, player volume -2db.
- The basic "no-clip" replaygain is 3dB.  The player-specific "no-clip"
replaygain is 5dB.
- User queues the track, SC sends replaygain of 5dB.  While track is
playing, user increases player volume to -1dB.  Track clips.

I do not think it desirable to allow the user to introduce clipping
with the player volume control, so I would not really be in favor of
this.

That being said, if it is simple to implement, optional, and defaults
to off, I would have no problem with it, lol.
