This is a little ugly, but how about this:

run_command could check MAXPROCS, and if > 1, only "echo" commands are 
noisy when encode-output=loud.  I don't like special cases, but as you say, 
the only other option is to never enable loud output at all.

One other option is to only set encode-output=loud on the last track when 
MAXPROCS > 1.  On slow systems with fast CD-ROMs and a CD with many tracks, 
there will be a lengthy delay between the end of ripping and the start of 
the last encoder.
