I just ran the same tests on a completely different movie (but still DTS-HD MA 7.1), and again no messages about clipping. The second test with -normalize added, eac3to again applied a -0.09 gain.
So I guess eac3to just applies a standard -0.09 gain when downmixing 7.1 to 5.1 when the -normalize switch is used, and no clipping is detected?
So now of course I'm wondering, is using the -normalize switch good practice, or should I just let eac3to mix the surrounds and only automatically normalize if there is detected clipping?
