[vorbis-dev] Idea for gapless tracks

making files that depend on others is a wrong way.
suppose, i don't have next file that decoder will do?
or what will be if i'll encode cd and then split it on tracks?

the only one way to make gapeless output is to make
independend frames and buffer them for decoder.

as i know, mpg123 makes gapelss output of mp3
(this can be checked with total recorder)
even if frames depend on each other just because
frames from the next file are buffering and
for decoder both files seemed like one.
