Replaygain has two values - track gain and album gain.

To calculate album gain you must first scan *all* tracks on the album so
it has to be applied post-ripping.

I would remove "--replay-gain" from the command line and use foobar or
my script [1] to apply the replaygain. I'd also use -8 or --best, and
make sure you're using flac 1.1.4, but that doesn't affect the replaygain.
