ReplayGain tags not written to FLAC files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In Preferences, set the output format to FLAC and enable 'Scan ReplayGain' 
under 'CD Rip'
2. Rip any CD. When complete, ReplayGain values will be reported in the log 
window.
3. Open the output FLAC files in any tag editor (I used Sbooth's Tag) - there 
are no REPLAYGAIN tags.

How about the reproducibility (always, sometimes, rarely, ...)?
Always

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Calculated ReplayGain values should be written to each FLAC file in the 
relevant REPLAYGAIN tags.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 20120908 (141.1) on Mac OS X 10.7.4.

Please provide any additional information below.
This is what I would expect to happen, otherwise why is there an option to run 
ReplayGain scanning whilst ripping? This seems like an oversight rather than a 
bug. I have not tried this with other output formats, so cannot comment on 
those.

Currently XLD only writes replaygain values to log files when ripping. This is 
because the FLAC encoder writes metadata before ripping and replaygain is 
unavailable at that moment.

I'll look into libflac API and release an improved plugin.

Latest version writes RG tags to FLAC files. But track gain only.

Please, dear god, offer the writing of the replay gain tags into the metadata 
as an OPTION, not something done automatic.

Well, you can always turn off the ReplayGain scanning in the CD Rip preference 
tab.

but it's helpful to at least have the info in the log, especially the peak 
levels.

Thanks for considering the optional set-up anyway!

The option is added to the latest version.
