But it seems that you don't hear that effect, and I guess we could ask why.

Is this something that you can ask of the relevant people or do I need to be raising this elsewhere?

Here in music is fine for an audio question, but Fernet is not always looking at the forum so I will raise it internally. But the player guys are very busy at the moment, so we may need to pick the best moment. It also helps to be exact with the facts. But I don't really know what replay gain is meant to sound like in relation to settings, although I do get the idea of making mixed playlists playback more in a more even way.
