"Gaps between media segments that are smaller than the audio frame size are
allowed and should be rendered as silence. Such gaps should not be reflected by
buffered.
Note: This is intended to simplify switching between audio streams where the
frame boundaries don't always line up across encodings (e.g. Vorbis)."

To quote http://xiph.org/vorbis/doc/vorbisfile/crosslap.html

"Vorbis introduces no extra samples at the beginning or end of a stream, nor
does it remove any samples."

Given this, it's not clear why gaps are allowed.
