The player doesn't need to be able to work out the original intention of the
tracks. The request here is for the user to be able to choose gaps. So long
as implementing gaps doesn't break gapless playback, I don't honestly see the
problem. Running a helper application purely to add gaps or having to edit
the ripped files seems daft to me.
