It can't be solved in the encoder. What you _could_ do is:

Encode the tracks with some overlap, and in the decoder, start decoding the
2nd while still playing the 1st, throw away the last frames of the 1st
track && the first frames of the 2nd track, and then try to find the
closest match between the 1st end && the 2nd start (something like
cdparanoia/cdda2wav does; only not perfect matching, but least squares
should do nicely, I think), and lastly, glueing those two streams together
(fade em in/out so click will be annihilated).

Solving in the encoder is impossible; mpeg audio works at frame level,
what you need is sample level.
