Slackware comes with a program named normalize, always has.
(try man normalize)
It requires a command line value I use:
" /usr/bin/nice -n -17 normalize -a -12dbfs $1 " in my script files.
This scans the wav or mp3 file, it changes the wav file level
and for a mp3 file it sets a "play with the attenuator up or down
this much value" flag. This works (mp3) with everything that I have that
plays mp3s. YMMV
