That's what I was trying to do for MP3 files. However, I failed because I couldn't manage to bring the supposedly authorative tool mp3gain to insert tags (and not to adjust the whole file) ;-) And if somebody provide me with a pointer to a reference where I can find all this, it would really help.
I just found this:

which explains to me what you mean. And as far as I can see there is no option to tell mp3gain to NOT change the mp3 file and just add the replay gain tags.
Which seems silly, because the beauty of replay gain is the fact that it is just a tag, nothing more complex than that.
But I don't see who this would matter for pytone. I wouldn't advice people to use mp3gain really, but if the tags exist pytone shouldn't care what mp3gain did, just act according to the tag.
