Because freedb doesn't look at the actual song to determine what
something is.  It looks, basically, at the disc format: how many blocks
is each track, where the 'index' marks are, etc.

So the intertrack gap then matters (is there a 2 second gap between
songs when playing the original CD on a CD player?  Did your ripping
process preserver that?)

You'd be more likely to get an exact match if you ripped the entire CD
as single FLAC and used a cue sheet for indexing, but you'd lose that
information still when going back to CD unless you have some software
that can keep that cue sheet around and use it to build the table of
contents of the CD.  All the CDDA->WAV->FLAC->WAV->CDDA steps would
make keeping that cuesheet a pain.
