Audio CD Burning with write offset

After much tinkering, I have setup a process to rip my CD collection to
FLAC files and I'm now trying to go the other way: create a CD from the
FLAC/cue-sheet/TOC file.

I'm using cdrdao to burn the CD, but CD's created this way are offset by
30 samples from the original disc (note: my Plextor burner has a write
offset of 30 samples, according to various online sources).  I have
verified the flac file contents are correct (or at least match the
results of EAC and accuraterip), so I'm pretty sure the problem is with
the writing process.

I use cdparanoia to rip (providing a sample offset), but cdrdao does not
appear to support offsets of any form for reading or writing.  I could
use some audio tools and manually hack the wave file before burning the
CD, but that seems cumbersome to say the least.

Is there some way to get cdrdao to deal with sample offsets, or another
(*nix) program I can use to burn audio CDs that supports generating
subcode, CD-TEXT, *AND* write-offsets?

I generally like EAC (and I run across a number of folks running EAC in
wine on linux), but I really don't want to depend on a closed-source
program to rip/archive/restore my CDs...which is why I'm ripping to flac
and then to ogg files in the first place!
