Not sure what exactly is available in the linux camp. I think the
default gap between tracks on audio CDs is 2 secs. But I know you can
get around this. I have used a free Windows tool, exactaudiocopy, to
enable to take a standard Vinyl LP and record the 2 sides. I can put it
on a CD and mark the tracks without having to break it into separate
files. There is no silence between tracks (apart from the standard LP
gap, but you still here pop and glitches as the track counter ticks
over).

So I guess you mix your "tracks" with cross-fades, using something like
sweep or audacity, etc. You then need to find a Linux CD tool that can
mark tracks without inserting the gap.

Not really, but keep in mind if you cross-fade your tracks, you'll end
up with a single track for the entire CD.  That's why they separate the
tracks in the first place :)

I don't know of any utility that will enable you to write out a table of
contents (TOC) for a CD with cross-faded tracks.  Some early classical
recordings I have (late 80's) used CD indexing to identify the different
movements within a piece (track 2, index 3 might be Symphony #123,
allegro for instance).  Indexing kinda died not long after that and I've
never seen it since.
