You mentioned pre-gaps and (sub-)indices. I've just tested, when you run cdrdao with the "simulate" command and the verbosity set to level 3 ("-v 3") you will not waste a disc and still get the cue sheet printed out as it is sent to the drive--among a lot of other output though. The cue sheet printout might look cryptic at first glance, but it is not actually difficult to read. The colums are: CTL/ADR, TNO, INDEX, DATA FORM, SCMS, MIN, SEC, FRAME You are only interested in those rows where the first column's second digit is "1". For those rows read TNO and INDEX in combination with the time given by the last three columns (MIN, SEC, FRAME). This is the layout of your tracks (there are 75 FRAMEs per seconds), and you can study the outcome of different TOC files.
