Just so everybody catches this, from the Alpha 5 readme:

* What's New Since 3.00-alpha3 - Player

Now drops samples after an abrupt transition to silence in the last fraction
of a second of audio (to assist with gapless playback).

Dude! This is very cool, it works perfectly. I just tried Pink Floyd's DSOM today, and it was absolutely flawless. That was one of the first rips that I ever encoded, and I do not think I have listened to it without gaps in 5 years. It was a very nice treat, thank you very much. This feature alone makes upgrading to Alpha 5 so worth it.
