is there a package eg xmms2 that can normalize audio for mp3/mp4/flv

Thanks very much for your answer mycae: I took your advice. I'm a bit of a
novice with bash scripting and came up with this:

for p in "$@";
do
      ffmpeg -i "$p" -y ffout.wav
      normalize-audio ffout.wav
     ffmpeg -i "$p" -i ffout.wav -y "out"."$p"
done

which seems to work pretty good. With libextra52, or whatever it's called (
ffmpeg's additional codecs ) the script handles *.mp4 and *.flv.

Just curious if you might have any suggestion regarding ffmpeg options which
might produce a superior result.

Thanks Again
Robert

I used ffmpeg as per the suggestion and came up with this:

for p in "$@";
do
      ffmpeg -i "$p" -y ffout.wav
      normalize-audio ffout.wav
     ffmpeg -i "$p" -i ffout.wav -y "out.$p.mp4"
done

I spoke too soon... flv doesn't copy the audio such that VLC works. It does
work forcing the output format to mp4, changing the last line to:

     ffmpeg -i "$p" -i ffout.wav -y "out.$*.mp4*"
