config per directory?

And I'm guessing (with no relevant knowledge at all, admittedly) that that's what stopping and restarting the buffer would entail.

Buffering doesn't really matter to gapless or crossfade. Rather its about efficient use of the hard disk. On a typical hard disk based player you can only read the disk about twice an hour, so you have to figure out what config you're going to need a while in the future, load all of them, and then switch to them later.

Pardon my arrogance but again what's the difference between this feature and album art?

If you can figure out how to get this to work with a JPEG, be my guest!
Llorean:
What about the ability to include .cfg files in playlists? Rather than loading folder .cfgs, just playlist them up like any other item, so if a user has a .cfg as the first item in their folder, and they insert the whole folder, it gets queued up as well? Probably best to ignore .cfgs in insert/queue shuffled scenarios, though.
This would also allow some flexibility for those who manually create playlists as well, by allowing them to set various .cfg files to trigger at certain times, such as loading preferred EQ presets for different albums, or whatnot.

Not a lot. Adding album art support required messing around with a bunch of playback and buffering stuff. So will this.
Llorean: What about cfg files which change settings which affect order of play, though? What do you do if the cfg file halfway through sets shuffled to on? (toggling shuffle was explicitly one of the things requested, which makes sense, you don't want to shuffle audiobooks). Or the reverse: what about if shuffle is on now, and you start a playlist that should include a cfg file which disables shuffle, but it doesn't play the cfg file until halfway through? :)
