Subject: [PATCH] doc: favor the "gain" effect over "vol"
Date: Sun, 10 May 2015 09:16:19 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1431249379-31274-1-git-send-email-e@80x24.org> (raw)

Followup-to commit 403ed90e2e7bed3e017938d76e17037b0d5059b6
(replaygain uses the "gain" effect instead of "vol")

The `gain' effect seems superior as it can "see" across the effects
chain to take into account extra/lost headroom.
