there should be an option for cdrecord called 'pregap' and 'defpregap'. 
you
want to use it like the following:

> TO RECORD FROM IMAGE TO CD:
> cdrecord speed=8 fs=4m -useinfo dev=2,0 -audio -nopad audio_*.raw

^ modify that line to:

  cdrecord speed=8 fs=4m defpregap=0 -useinfo dev=2,0 -audio -nopad
audio_*.raw

if you don't have the defpregap and pregap options (check the cdrecord
man
page), then you probably will want to upgrade your version of cdrecord
:).

you can also use the program 'cdrdao' to burn audio CDs.  i don't really
want to delve into DAO vs TAO things ... but search freshmeat.net for
'cdrdao' for more info.

email me back if you'd like more assistance!
