Public bug reported:

The "Normalize" plugin (which sets consistent sound levels between
tracks) in Brasero should NOT be enabled by default on new installs of
Ubuntu because the plugin alters/changes the burned file appearing on
the CD from the original file that exists on the HDD.

Because the original file being burned is changed/altered by the
Normalize plugin, it should be something that users have to enable
manually if they want it.

Many users make a "backup" of files on their HDD. When they make a
backup, they want an exact copy of the files on their HDD without any
changes being made to the files being burned to the CD. The Normalize
plugin prevents this. Users that do use the Normalize plugin often keep
an "original/unaltered" file separate from normalized versions. Many new
users burning backup copies of their music will not know their burning
activity is changing the sound level of their music data. And they may
delete the original file thinking they have an exact copy burned onto
CD, not realizing they have burned a "normalized" version.

To protect users that are unaware of the Normalize plugin, it should be
disabled (unticked) by default. Users that use this plugin will know
what it does and will know they need to enable it should they want
normalization to occur.
