Correct, AIFF is indeed lossless and has the benefit of being natively
supported by the SB.  In my case, there are only a handful of files
that fall prey to the gap problem.  These are typically songs that span
tracks or songs that otherwise start with little or no dead time. 
Converting those to AIFF took up a relatively insignificant amount of
extra space. 

>From your post in the bug it appears that you're using OS X.  If you
read comment #5 you might want to try replacing mov123 with ALAC as a
decoder.  This may eliminate your problem without having to go the AIFF
route.  I couldn't do this since I was on Windows, but in the end I
ended up moving my music to a Linux server where I use ALAC as my
decoder.  This seems to have cleaned up the problem.
