  I don't understand why you'd even bother splitting the file, why not just  
place the CD track indeces where you want them in your burning software?  
Nero features an in-built track editor to do just this  
(Properties->Indexes, Limits, Split). I assume free software packages have  
similar functionality (even if worst case it might mean having to write a  
cue-file).

  Here I've added a vorbis file to the disc, and then inserted an index at  
1:32,42

  I've never burned a CD doing this, so I just assume it'll work. Requires  
Disc-at-once (DAO) burning I guess.
