Comment (by Balling):

 >The padding from E-AC-3 tracks is still not being removed as of May 2025.
 The delay and padding can be variable

 We know that. See comment 6.

 >The current practice with music encoding is to prepend 1 or 2 syncframes
 shared with the end of the previous track to have the decoder prerolled
 with actual audio data and not silence.

 That is only the case for gapless albums where that is obviously needed,
 cause all tracks are one big audio.
