Which seems to confirm that the normalisation is not applied to
the mixed signal (which would require two passes or a lot of

Nope, Ardour3 offers the option of normalization in the export menu ,
there is a mask where u edit "formats", and there it is(top left)
And indeed, if you have a machine fast enough, you may also right-click
a region and "normalize" it while playing, i dont know how its done
actually, but as ardour has the peaks, it may just search for the
highest value and internally gain the difference.
