I believe you are wrong in this paragraph: we do two passes for
normalization because that is the only way of doing it without distortions:
the level of volume adjustment depends on the whole stream.

Normalization can be done in a single pass with distortions, but currently,
no filter is capable of smoothing the measures computed by ebur128 to make
the distortions inaudible. Patch welcome.
