ReplayGain info from CUE, internal RG scanner

[dmush]

PA works well with RG from tags, but it can't get RG info from CUE files.

Foobar RG scanner write the following info (RG ALBUM and TRACK):

REM GENRE Rock
REM DATE 1974
REM DISCID 77095F08
REM COMMENT ExactAudioCopy v0.99pb5
PERFORMER "AC / DC"
TITLE "High Voltage"
REM REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_GAIN -7.31 dB
REM REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_PEAK 1.000000
FILE "AC - DC - High Voltage (Austrailian Version).flac" WAVE
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    TITLE "Baby, Please Don't Go"
    REM REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN -8.47 dB
    REM REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAK 0.998444
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
  TRACK 02 AUDIO
    TITLE "She's Got Balls"
    REM REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN -6.67 dB
    REM REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAK 0.998444
    INDEX 01 04:50:60

Could you add the feature to PA to read this info from CUE files?

Or maybe internal RG scanner is even better idea?

(Honestly, I don't understand need for RG per track in cue - this is one big mastered gapless track - why do you want to introduce volume changes and possible associated clicks between gapless tracks?)

As I can see, currently PA cue parser doesn't parse these comments - so added support for RG per cue to TODO (though, if cue big track already contains some RG there is a conflict, which different users will want to resolve differently).

Так ведь Foobar не пишет RG в теги ненарезанного файла, он пишет RG именно в CUE (и для трека и для альбома), и сам читает их оттуда.

Если уж кто-то отсканировал ненарезанный файл и записал в его тэги RG, то во избежании конфликта можно установить приоритет на тег или CUE.

А в текущей ситуации в PA для ненарезанного файла RG для трека вообще невозможно получить.

If you are playing all of the songs in the CUE file in order that's true. However you might be listening to one 'track' in a random playback or queue for example, and then I can see the point of RG for the one track.
