 Virtually all players and media frameworks should apply it by default.
 If a player chooses to apply any volume adjustment or gain modification, such

 An encoder SHOULD set this field to zero, and instead apply any gain prior to
  encoding, when this is possible and does not conflict with the user's wishes.
