some newlines and indention would help the readability of this example
and lavfi examples in general
what iam thinking of is something like:

                     amovie=    in.mp3,
                     ebur128=   video=1:metadata=1  [r128-before][a];

                 [a] volume=    metadata=lavfi.r128.I,
                     ebur128=   video=1             [r128-after][out1];

       [r128-before] pad=       iw*2                [padded];

[padded][r128-after] overlay=   w
