One thought on this: if we find that CUEd FLACs are inherently just a

If you by this mean providing a script for us CUE fans to unCUE our CUEd
FLAC collections, I think it is a very bad solution.
I find your current CUEd FLAC to single-track FLAC transcoding acceptable,
allthough I fear it introduces annoying gaps in live or classical
recordings.
My understanding is that you now view FLAC as your generic streaming format
between server and client for non-MP3 audio. Given server-side transcoding
of CUEd FLAC -> single track FLAC, you should definitely continue your
support for CUEd FLACs.
I don't believe the runtime transcoding of CUEed FLAC should introduce
gaps. The SB2 generally starts decoding a track well before the previous
one has finished playing (this allows us to do, among other things,
audio transitions including crossfading). Since we use the --skip and
--until parameters to the server-based flac tool, we don't introduce any
silence because of intra-frame padding. Please tell me if you are
hearing gaps.
