The .toc format is documented in the cdrdao manpage, at least weel
enough for me to write a simple perl script to build a .toc from a
collection of .wav files.  I've attached it, maybe it'll help?

It reads in a list of wav files, then builds a .toc file for that list
of tracks in that order.  If you've ripped a CD with 'cdparanoia -vBz'
then they'll be named track01.wav, track02.wav, etc. so you can do this
to burn a CD from a dir full of wav files:

find -type f|grep \\.wav|sort|wav2toc.pl

Then burn it with:

cdrdao write --device <device> --speed <speed> -v2 cd.toc

Works very well for quickly doing a very high quality copy of an audio
CD.
