Silent tracks result in very high gain. #37

Description

@rkjnsn

Some of my CD rips have silent tracks, which loudness-scanner tags with a gain of 51.00 dB. This isn't really a problem when applying the gain in software, since zero times any amount is still zero. However, when trying to use the gain value to adjust the amplifier volume directly, it doesn't work quite so well (turning the amp way up just to turn it all they way back down just a few seconds later).

It'd be nice if loudness scanner wrote a gain of 0 dB whenever all of the samples in a track are below a certain threshold. (Most of these tracks are pure silence, but one has a peak of 0.000061.)
