short answer: K3b (http://www.k3b.org) makes this pretty easy
longer answer:
If you worry about bad burns from buffer under-run, you can reduce CPU
load during the burn by de-FLAC-ing to WAV.
# flac -d *.flac
At this point it's a good time to fix Sector Boundary Errors (if any)
using shntool (http://www.etree.org/shnutils/shntool/). SBE's can cause
audible ticks or gaps between tracks.
# shntool fix *.wav
Alternative: SBE's can be fixed in the FLAC files
# shntool fix *.flac
... then set K3b to burn the CD from an intermediatry .ISO by unchecking
"[X] On the fly" from the Burn | Audio Project | Writing menu. This is
the easiest to burn.
(I'm sure there's a non-K3b command line way to do this, but I've never
learned it.)
