The DAB standard had this built in at the receiving end, so you could
listen in a car with heavy compression but still enjoy full dynamic
range at home. This seems to have disappeared.

If I recall correctly, the flag for this *and* the compression gain values
have to be provided with the broadcast stream. I'm not sure if broadcasters
bother, but then I don't use DAB much!

FWIW though, the BBC are trying to move towards having no added level
compressions on their internet radio streams. This point emerged recently
when I was talking to someone about recent/current developments which are
moving towards *all* their radio streams being available as 320k for AOD as
well as live. (At least in the UK!)
