Re: [ecasound] replaygain with ecasound

Hallo everybody,

first of all thanks for the prompt response. I decided to use a less
accurate calculation of the apparent volume of the track, by emulating
the ecasignalview tool. (actually it would be nice if the
ecasignalview would return the average volume after the file has
ended).

In practice I calculate the average of the volume of the track as read
by the bar meters. It's a bit coarse but it is sort of how you would
do it for real with a mixer and a good hear.

Find below the code that I wrote and that seems to give good results.
At least now the volumes don't look to be so different (which is what
I wanted).

I run getFileLengthVolume() on some files and set the volume of the
background music as -20dB with respect to the foreground sound.

Ciao

Edo
