Hi,

It does re-encode, you can use flat wav (PCM) style which should limit any losses. As I was doing this for video, I set ffmpeg to do a straight video copy and only re-encode the audio. I didn't notice any degradation but I'm not an audio purist so your ears may vary.

Regards,

Wayne

Wow!  I never thought of using ffmpeg for this.  I especially like the way you can tweak parameters that compute the

an uncompressed audio file should be close to lossless), or will it simply losslessly (and quickly, and reversibly) set 
a single "track gain" parameter to a file format that supports such a thing like the way "mp3gain" 
does?

I had to do some audio normalisation (loudness/RMS) on a batch of videos 
recently.  I used ffmpeg to automate the process but you have to be careful 
what you're doing as you can overcook it.
