This would be a great addition! And I would think this could be fairly easily accomplished by adding the ability to do transcoding using ffmpeg with the loudnorm filter. This would:

• Remove the necessity for ReplayGain tagging, which is extremely problematic for most media formats other than mp3.
• Avoids the need to modify your media files, which is problematic when they are on read-only media or sources.
• Allow better volume normalization and listening experience when there is a lot of dynamic variation within individual songs.
