Thank you for the the heads up.  I've discussed this with upstream,
and while we both agree that the list with duplicates can be
confusing, the list is generated based on content provided by ffmpeg
and not from a source under control by the bs1770gain source.  The
proposed upstream solution is to update the documentation to make it
clear that these lists can have dulicates, and accept that the list
from ffmpeg can be confusing.

I expect such fix to make it into the next release.
