Ok, but where would you store the info ? And would it be fast enough with large song-collections ? If you do this it would perhaps be good to put the plugin in a "learn"-mode so you could get the info from all your songs fast and write it in a file for later use.
The setting would probably either be stored in an RVA2 ID3 tag frame or in the registry. A setting would only need to be saved if it is not 0 dB.
It's not clear what "fast enough" means; I don't think there would be a separate "learn" mode -- the plug-in would always be learning as long as the automatic clipping attenuation option is enabled.
I found another file with a few (160 ?) samples with 8db clipping so i think that some kind of setup would be nice!
Maybe the right thing to do is limit the amount of automatic attenuation? You could then configure the maximum attenuation level to, say, 4 dB or whatever.
