Hi Owen, I've taken a peek at this before, but never seriously considered it. It looks like there's three main things that would need to be done: 1) Applying the gain (easy) 2) Performing the preamp (probably easy) 3) Applying a hard limiter (not so easy) http://replaygain.hydrogenaudio.org/player.html
We'd also need to figure out what we'd want to store in the database for this. It might be best to just store the whole >= 8 byte replay gain header in the database as a blob, since the format is somewhat extensible. It's also not clear to me whether people would want to use the Audiophile or Radio profile. I don't like the idea of having all this extra customization just to fix the gain of your track, so ideally I'd prefer this to work transparently without having any configuration options. I'm sketched out by this clipping stuff though. I'm just having visions of us colouring the sound in a way that ends up ticking people off. It'd also probably be good if the waveform got drawn with the gain applied. As you can tell, there's many aspects to this project if we want to do it properly. It's worth writing a feature specification page on the wiki for this, if anyone's interested in it.
