Finally, I am able to post.  I tried creating three accounts, and the
activation and support emails never arrived, not even in junk.  I'm
guessing the server this is on is blacklisted in some email security
system and those emails got filtered out long before they got to me. 
The email was instantaneous to another email account of mine (and I get
emails from the other Logitech services.)

I posted this same post on the Logitech Support forums earlier simply
because I couldn't post it here due to the login issues, but I think
the community here is probably the more appropriate place for the
question given the more hands-on nature here:

I have a few questions about ReplayGain support on Squeezebox Touch:

1: Is ReplayGain compatible with the "Fixed Volume (100%)" setting?  
Meaning if I have Fixed Volume on, will the SB still process the RG
gain adjustment?  I found some information on the topic, but not nearly
enough, and some seemed contradictory.

2: When "Fixed Volume" is not enabled and RG is turned on (either track
or album gain), is the volume slider supposed to move automatically on
each track, and is that how it controls the gain adjustment?

3:  I may have "broken" my RG support within a few hours!  I'd
appreciate any help on how to restore it.  Details below: (Note, I'm
using the digital coax output to a DAC.)

a: Originally I had "fixed volume" disabled and Album Gain enabled.  
The volume slider seemed to move with each track in my Random Mix and
adjust the volume.  Turning Album Gain off (no gain adjust), the music
would be at my usual play level (25% on the vol knob on my amp).  With
Album Gain on, huge amounts of volume loss were present, ushing me to
60% of the volume knob on my amp for the came perceived SPL.

b: I did some playing with fixed volume etc, toggled settings.  I
noticed if I hit volume on the remote it seemd to override the
automatic jumping of the volume slider on screen. 

c: After going back to it to test some more after listening, I realized
no matter what combination of "fixed volume" on/off or track/album/none
settins I used, there is no adjustment in the output levels.  Even if I
turn "fixed vol" off, put my volume at 50%, and set track or album gain
on, there is no difference between on and off now, and the slider does
not jump.

d: If I examine the "more info" details of any track in the playlist,
the gain settings are still in the tags (so the server still has them
stored.)

e: I tried rebooting the server, just to be safe.  I also rebooted and
unplugged the SB Touch to be sure.

f: I did a "reset to factory settings" from the advanced menu on the
SBT.  I had to re-enter the region, language, wifi settings, etc. 
Changing the gain settings still does nothing. Vol is always at full
output (~25% volume knob), no matter if I select "none" or "track,
album, etc."  No difference is detected when switching (even on hot
tracks.)

g: I did a "reset player settings" on the server side just to try that.
Still no effect.  When I turn album gain or track gain on, there's
still not detected difference.

I would have assumed that the ReplayGain support just doesn't work with
the digital output and is for the internal DAC only, except that it
seemed to work originally!  That part has me confused. 

I'd appreciate any ideas anyone may have!
