Audacious versions 1.4 and newer ignore replay gain rendered in FLAC and ogg vorbis files (I do not know about mp3) No matter the rendered value in the file header, the "default gain" set in preferences is always used. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. play a FLAC or ogg vorbis file with replay gain information 2. turn off replay gain in preferences 3. play the file again Actual Results: The music volume is the same Expected Results: Music volume is different (dependent on replay gain information in the file)
Did you mean that audacious never ignores the replay gain values in the media files, i.e. that it ignores its own runtime settings?
No, I mean that it ignores the replay gain values in files. You can alter the replay gain by changing the "default replay gain" in preferences which, according to the description should be used by audacious only if no replay gain value is given in the file.

This is not a feature of the current 1.5 branch. However, a patch was just committed upstream that supports FLAC. Should it apply and work for you, do reopen the bug and I will consider it for a 1.5.1-r2 update in Gentoo.
I have just built a brand new audacious from the mercurial repository (version says Audacious 1.9.0 4857:75555b79d32e) and it seems that it still does not support replay gain for FLAC and ogg vorbis files. I have tried playing files with very high replay gain values (like -11 dB, +12 dB) and the volume is the same whether I turn replay gain on or off.
