Yes, but you are supposed to be able to eliminate the gaps by
recording in DAO mode (disc-at-once), and I think the fiddle is
that the track indicator is put into the previous track two seconds
before the end.

You may be saying the same thing.

Fair enough. I thought you were talking about the second level of
audio index points, within the audio tracks.
BTW when splitting wav files, Jake, it's important to make sure they're
broken at 2352-byte boundaries so you don't get gaps between them.
