In Bug #44524, comment #11, a user posted a script he used to fix this issue in Feisty. With some tweaks, this script works in Maverick also. K3B doesn't like normalize-audio including a version number on the first line. The sheer audacity - how dare it do what it was asked. :-)
The fix is to move the version string to somewhere else in the output:
Workaround for Maverick:

The fix is to move the version string to somewhere else in the output:
sudo mv /usr/bin/ normalize- audio /usr/bin/normalize
sudo nano /usr/bin/ normalize- audio
###
normalize --version | sed -e 's/normalize 0.7.7/normalize -audio/ g'
echo "normalize-audio 0.7.7"
normalize $*
#/bin/bash
case "$1" in
--version)
;;
*)
;;
esac
###
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/ normalize- audio
Restart K3B - it should work fine now.
