I'm about to launch into a debugging session to see why mp3gain (http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/ ) and madplay 0.15.1b don't seem to be playing together (no pun intended). I thought I'd ask if anyone has used the two together yet, or if there is another linux-based replaygain processor (for adding replaygain to existing mp3s) that is more reliable.
map3gain does appear to be adding a tag, as it finds it again if rerun over the same file.
From my brief look at the mp3gain code I couldn't find evidence that it is actually writing a Replay Gain tag. It appears instead to be modifying the global_gain field of each Layer III frame. This modification should work with all players with or without Replay Gain support, though there may not be any indication of it.
