Change replay gain mode based on what's playing

Feature description

It would be quite nice to have a “smart” replay gain mode that uses album gain when playing a full album, but uses track gain for songs added by smart flow/queue. Playlists would probably always use track gain.

Problem solved

Add a “smart” replay gain mode that uses either track or album gain depending on what’s playing.

Brought benefits

Improved loudness consistency after album ends and smart queue begins.

Does the “Automatic” setting not already do this?

The Automatic mode switches between track and album ReplayGain based on how playback was started. For example, it uses track gain for a playlist and album gain when playing an album.

From the Docs page for ReplayGain

I admit I don’t know how Smart Queue/Flow tracks are handled, but I would assume those would use the track gain.
