yeah there's a real need for proper mp3 replaygain support from linux apps.
that's why I had done my own patching to xmms-mad plugin a while ago.
btw the file uploaded by phoolgobi is an older version, I had updated the plugin meanwhile (just details from what I recall, like failure to recognise MP3 files when first bytes of files are weird, etc.. I never took the time to actually rework the plugin..)
check my homepage for latest (soon to be 1 year old..) version :
