The experimental option --opus-output-gain currently assigns track gain to the header output gain. However, album gain is usually a better normalization mode. For this reason, Opus developers used to recommend setting the header output gain to album gain. As a note, for this reason, foobar2000 sets it to album gain by default, and so does opusenc when converting REPLAYGAIN tags from FLAC.
Therefore, I would like to kindly request an option to set the header output gain to album gain instead of track gain, and perhaps even ask you to consider making this the default behavior.
It makes sense.
