Normalize 6 Separate Audio Files?

[meldavid]

Hi, what's the cheapest, fastest method of normalising 6 separate audio files of a 5.1 sound track, while still keeping their relative volumes. Preferably something offline that doesn't have to analyze the files and make pretty colourful waveform displays, etc. (something ubercool like ffmpegX, but for audio!). Thanks if you can help.

Found one!

mAC3dec

It hasn't been updated since 2004 but I just tried it and it worked. And processing was even faster than commercial software.
