normalization in WMA

1. None that I'm aware of use these tags that WMP puts into most everything it can
2. The Average Reference is simply an average of the samples, I think. The Peak is similar, it's the peak value of the samples.
3. You don't. The ReplayGain method does a considerably better analysis than WMP does. My guess is that WM is simply doing peak normalization.
