Hmm, did some tests, but it seems to work fine here.
Are you sure the Song and Track gain is at 0 dB ?

Not sure what the difference is between the 2 ?

To calculate the norm factor, you have to render the part that is exported, 
which is exactly what we do now.
The seconds pass does the same thing, but now applies the norm factor to the 
rendered audio before writing to disk.

Please, enlighten me :D
