Is it?

I find conflicting information.  If it's following the original
ReplayGain standard here:

http://replaygain.hydrogenaudio.org/outline.html

it's 83 dB.

But there's a wiki on HydrogenAudio that now says 89 dB:

http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Replaygain#Introduction

Now since that's a wiki, anyone could have put anything in there.

And playback of MP3s with embedded MP3Gain RG data is much louder than
playback of FLACs with RG data added by the FLAC encoder itself.  I
know the MP3s are at 89 dB, MP3Gain is specifically set that way.  But
there's no such control for the FLAC encoder.

So I'm confused...

I'm not trying to give you a hard time Josh, I'm trying to sort through
the conflicting information.  Thanks for your help.
