realtime volume normalizer

Hi!

What I would like to do is have a reasonably constant sound when listening to
mp3's. This is because many times I'm listening to radio shows in which people
sometimes are whispering, sometimes shouting. So currently I have to set the
volume _during_ playing the mp3 from time to time.

Is there a general (or mp3 player-specific) utility / special driver that can
keep the volume at a constant level? A utility for pre-normalizing the mp3 files
would do as well. It doesn't have to be mp3-specific either, ogg or wav-specific
software is fine, too.

Unfortunately the various kinds of software I have found on the net only
normalize the volume of the WHOLE sound files, not e.g. relatively short
sections of it.

Thanks,
Agoston
