You seem to have a real aversion to reading the patent, but prefer to quote from a specific implementation.If you did read the patent, you may realise what the patent refers to as "low level gain manipulation" refers a broad number of things, including low level extension. It is not a synonym for low level extension.
Anyway, the proof is in the empirical results, which you have ignored. Again, based on my experience, the WMP HDCD decoder seems to manipulate all HDCD content, regardless of whether specific features are engaged or disengaged.
If you can find a specific HDCD disc that passes through the WMP HDCD decoder unscathed, then perhaps you may have a point. But I'm willing to bet you can't.
