With pre-gaps and the like I may or may not be able to help you, but
CD text fields in toc files I have just recently investigated to
make Ardour's toc export bullet proof with regard to non-ASCII
characters and proper escaping. I did this on my Notebook--which
doesn't even have a CD text capable burner--by modifying the cdrdao
source to output the result of it's toc sheet parser and the encoded
CD text buffer. So for CD text field handling, maybe I can help.
What are you looking for?

Best

P.S.: I guess you could simply ask your questions about the toc
syntax here if you want, because I think the cdrdao mailing lists
are very quiet nowadays.
