Comment 9 for bug 1041819

12.04.1 still has the problem.
Now, this is a K3B bug as packaged by Ubuntu, not a normalize-audio one (which has no bug at all).
The bug is in the way K3b detects normalize-audio binary presence and it's version number.

We have:
1. A trivial WORKAROUND with a wrapper script to normalize-audio.
2. A trivial SOLUTION with a change in the way K3b detects the binary.

Solutions should be applied instead of workarounds, as a rule of thumb.

The current package under Ubuntu of normalize-audio yields the following output:

~ normalize-audio -V
normalize 0.7.7
