/**
 * SECTION:element-rgvolume
 * @see_also: #GstRgLimiter, #GstRgAnalysis
 *
 * This element applies volume changes to streams as lined out in the proposed
 * <ulink url="http://replaygain.org">ReplayGain standard</ulink>.  It
 * interprets the ReplayGain meta data tags and carries out the adjustment (by
 * using a volume element internally).  The relevant tags are:
 * <itemizedlist>
 * <listitem>#GST_TAG_TRACK_GAIN</listitem>
 * <listitem>#GST_TAG_TRACK_PEAK</listitem>
 * <listitem>#GST_TAG_ALBUM_GAIN</listitem>
 * <listitem>#GST_TAG_ALBUM_PEAK</listitem>
 * <listitem>#GST_TAG_REFERENCE_LEVEL</listitem>
 * </itemizedlist>
 * The information carried by these tags must have been calculated beforehand by
 * performing the ReplayGain analysis.  This is implemented by the <link
 * linkend="GstRgAnalysis">rganalysis</link> element.
 * 
 * The signal compression/limiting recommendations outlined in the proposed
 * standard are not implemented by this element.  This has to be handled by
 * separate elements because applications might want to have additional filters
 * between the volume adjustment and the limiting stage.  A basic limiter is
 * included with this plugin: The <link linkend="GstRgLimiter">rglimiter</link>
 * element applies -6 dB hard limiting as mentioned in the ReplayGain standard.
