Daniel - I think we are actually agreeing!
My point was that SS/SC doesn't "corrupt DTS files" - replaygain does
the "corrupting". I agree that making replaygain "DTS aware" would be
neat. All I was saying was that any media player that has "replaygain"
functionality would cause the same problem.

The obvious solution of course is to fix the problem by disabling
replaygain or setting the replaygain tags to 0db (not sure that works
but worth a try)
