Could you explain that a bit more? (AFAIK replaygain values are in dB and
therefore make a lot of sense as doubles.)

Which reminds me: Everyone that wants to understand how hard GStreamer is
is highly encouraged to write a complete demuxer. (incl. working in
spider, seeking, queries, funny events coming in at funny times (like
during setup), getting timestamps/offsets correct, handling broken data
(partially downloaded files or streams from the net) and such things).
oggdemux taught me again how complicated GStreamer is in some places, if
you intend to do it right...

FWIW, qtdemux code is pretty ugly because it was done fast. So there's
lots of improvements possible. Same for asfdemux which will reach its
limits when mms support is added or more people listen to wma with
alsasink.
