Gotta love the internet, nothing gets lost.  Here's the work I did
back around 2006:

abcde -1 doesn't make complete disk image:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=377240

Support for TOC file generation:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=389975

Debian abcde BTS page:

These days, I think you can just use a table of drive settings:

That's a function of the tool you use to rip.  cdparanoia supports a
sample offset with -O.

There might also be some Linux ripping tools that work with the
accuraterip database (or something similar) by now, I haven't checked
in a while.
