Description

I'd like to use metaflac as a backend for the replaygain plugin. On my NAS, neither PAL nor Gstreamer are feasible, but metaflac is available through ipkg.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a new replaygain backend that uses the metaflac command line tool via subprocess. Study existing backends (e.g., for PAL) for structure and integrate into the replaygain plugin.
