The one-FLAC-per-disc way is just an option; if it's not
convenient for the way you organize your collection there's
no need to use it.

There will always be simple hacks that can be done to make
a disc FLAC look like a lot of little track FLACs, like the
APL files in Monkey's Audio.

It's possible, just rip with the one-WAV-plus-cuesheet method,
then get split_wav (hmm, site seems to be down now but the
URL is http://www.lameb.fsnet.co.uk/) or something similar
to split them up.  Save the cuesheet and when you want to
burn later just decode and merge all the wavs together.
