If you want a plain audio CD, you're going to need to convert it to regular
PCM (M$'s .wav) format first. Then, any CD burning utility (cdrecord falls in
to this category) will be able to create an audio CD. Both mpg123 and ogg123
support this conversion (I think in the docs it's referred to as 'raw' format).
After you've created the raw PCM, you should be able to split the file into
regular CD-sized chunks using 'split'.
The problem you ran into was that both OGG's and MP3's put the decompression
symbol table at the head of the file (which only makes sense). So your first
file was just fine (since the symbol table was present), while the resulting
"splits" were garbage (since the symbol table wasn't there). Using 'split' on
the raw PCM shouldn't cause a problem since there are no decompression symbols
to keep track of.
Don't give up. Let us know if you need more help.
HTH.
