Flac - Feb 2008 - Replay-gain

Hi List,

Is there a way to correctly use the replay-gain feature on flac files that 
contain an entire album (i.e., multiple tracks with seekpoints added from a 
cue sheet)?

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "correctly use" ?

Thanks,
Pyt.

As I understand it, flac generates replay-gain values for each flac file that 
you pass (it assumes they are each a track and that they comprise an album), 
along with album values. If you pass a flac file that contains an entire 
album (multiple tracks), it treats it as an album with only a single track.

In other words, flac's replay-gain feature doesn't seem to know about
cue
sheets and/or multiple tracks in a single flac file. I would like to use 
replay-gain to equate each track, which is what I meant by 'correctly
use'.

Of course, I may be completely mistaken on several fronts.
