Summary: Request: Add support for the normalize plugin
Product: GStreamer
Version: 0.8.8
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal

Hello all!
Whenever I share some mp3s with my friends I get mp3s which are louder or calmer
than the others I already have. Using xmms I was able to solve the problem. At
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~cvaill/normalize you can get the normalize software
which can be compiled with xmms support.
Now, you can use normalize -b --id3-compat *.mp3 in an album directory and
normalize will keep the difference in volume each song has relative to the
others which keeps the dynamic, but also the relative volume is
increased/decreased to a certain level. This is a lossless procedure, because
normalize only adds the increase/decrease to the id3tag but doesn't reencode the
file. So normally you'd consider this ideal. But programs usually don't have the
abbility to read and use the added tag.
While building normalize with xmms support it will also compile and install a
plugin for xmms. If activated in xmms' properties it will use the added tags to
increase / decrease volume to the proper level.
I'd like to have the chance to use this with gstreamer, too. Is it possible for
you to add this feature as a plugin or to expand the capacity of gst-plugins-mad
regarding this feature?
Greetings
Sebastian
