Comment(by anonymous):

 A hardcoded gain increase can result in clipping and is not an appropriate
 way to address the "loud commercials" problem.  This problem varies across
 different broadcasters/affiliates and really must be fixed at the source.
 This patch would cause problems on channels that do set proper levels, as
 well as on other ac3-bearing content, such as DVDs.
