Yes, weird - seems their docs are out of date - wonder how many other
options remain undocumented. Perhaps mention this also the LAME guys.

I think that problems may arise either way ...it would be nice to have the
choice - or perhaps make the decision by "which is quieter - end of trk1 or
start of trk2?" and then cut the QUIET bit to the front/back of the other
track ...still has issues, but is a start to circumvent the initial issue.
