replay_gain: optionally use hardware mixer to apply replay gain
Add an option for each audio output which enables the use of the hardware mixer, instead of the software volume code. This is hardware specific, and assumes linear volume control. This is not the case for hardware mixers which were tested, making this patch somewhat useless, but we will use it to experiment with the settings, to find a good solution.
