Does anyone know of a tool that will provide info on audio CD
pre-gaps? I've read that cdrdao-utility will do it, but that doesn't
seem to arrive with Gentoo cdrdao and I don't see a separate package
for it. It looks like 'cdparanoia -Q' should do it, but it outputs
"pre no" regardless of the pre-gap.

See the cdrecord/cddda2wav man pages and examples sections...

To copy an audio CD in the most accurate way, first run

cdda2wav -vall cddb=0 -B -Owav

and then run

cdrecord -v -dao -useinfo -text *.wav


if you like paranoia support, add -paranoia to the cdda2wav options.
