Converting EPS to PNG using graphicsmagic for node does not keep transparency

I've been trying to convert a transparent EPS file to a transparent PNG file using graphicsmagic for node (http://aheckmann.github.io/gm/).

It needs to behave the same way as the following command (preserving transparency of the EPS) 

convert -colorspace srgb in.eps out.png

The above command works as expected but when I try it in node with the following code it does not retain transparency.

var gm = require('gm').subClass({ imageMagick: true });

gm("in.eps").colorspace("srgb").write("out.png", function (err) {
  if (!err) {
    console.log('done');
  }
});

I've also tried forcing the type TrueColorAlpha and setting the bit depth but to no avail.

Hopefully someone van advise on what I'm doing wrong or which information I'm missing.

For anyone stumbling upon this problem as well, this solved it for me.

var gm = require('gm').subClass({ imageMagick: true });

gm("in.eps").in("-colorspace").in("srgb").write("out.png", function (err) {
  if (!err) {
    console.log('done');
  }
});

You need to add two custom in parameters to apply colorspace to the input EPS image.
