3.96.1 won't do VBR heards and nogap at the same time anyway. I had them fix this (based on previous information from Roger, I think), but I think it got added after that release.

Players such as Karma and car-v3, which understand the Lame info tag, can produce gapless playback even without --nogap. Unless, that is, the file has been created as Roger originally described, which leaves Lame unable to write the info tag.

The info tag is useful even if you are using --nogap, as it also includes a frame count and CRC which can be used to check file completeness and integrity.
