This was done at encode time with the FLAC encoder using the
--replay-gain switch.  As many have pointed out, it will only do track
gains correctly.  Usually the album gain gets the same value, not sure
why it's different in this case.

But EAC's not handling the ReplayGain calculation at all (nor should
it, it's a ripper).  The LAME encoder is, and it's doing it exactly the
way the LAME developers intended...which no one supports.

It's just a tag.  I would never change the audio in a FLAC file and I'm
thankful there are no applications out there that can.

Reading this LAME tag isn't easy.  In fact that program you found is
the first and only one I've ever seen that was able to do it.

I'm not sure why it's so hard and uncommon, but it seems to be.

Actually MP3Gain writes an APEv2 tag.  foobar seems to use an ID3 tag,
in a non-standard way at first - I can recall SS needed to be changed
to read it.
