QtGain gains already gained files again

[Rüdiger Kupper]

Binary package hint: qtgain

QtGain's manual states: "Files which are already gained and need no recalculating are automatically skipped. "
This is definitely not true. Steps to reproduce:
1) Start QtGain
2) drop a folder containing FLAC files onto the window
3) wait until QtGain has finished
4) close QtGain
5) Start QtGain
6) Drop the same folder
7) Observe that QtGain happily processes the same files again.

seems to be a the standard behaviour of 'metaflac --add-replay-gain': http://flac.sourceforge.net/documentation_tools_metaflac.html

It's still annoying if processing large colelctiobns of files using qtgain, so I added a feature request: https://sourceforge.net/p/flac/feature-requests/107/
