Yes, Rythmbox has the same issue. You can try for yourself: create a playlist with two consecutive tracks of an opera (as wav files). You will hear the gap. I am no genius, but rythmbox is _obviously_ loading the second file in memory after the first one is finished: you can even hear the hard disk noise as the track changes. :-)
Note: totem currently (in dapper) has a serious issue which prevented me from testing it again. Essentially, it stops playing wav files after 2 seconds. I can't hear anything at all after 2 seconds. Maybe I'll file another bug about that.
Sebastien, I use totem-gstreamer 0.10 (dapper).
