I still don't see a necessity for a _user settable_ option. I now propose to indeed make this "INFINITYGAIN" a project option, -96dB by default (or even -144dB to account for 24bit audio) for _new_ projects. But: - write the setting into a property; - read the property in with -40dB if it is not present in the file.
