this is the (SPL) loudness level used as a reference for the
replaygain analysis.  for anything made with flac.exe it will be
83dB and I have not seen any other tool that analyzes FLAC files
that uses a different value, so apps should treat a missing tag
as 83dB.

if you want to can use metaflac-1.1.3 to remove the old tags and
re-analyze, or (faster) just add the loudness tag.
