IMHO, this violates the cd9660 specs which apparently assume that at
most the very first track of each session is in CD-ROM Data format.
(That's why they have a fairly confused terminology about a ``multi-
session'' CD.)

I've once got a set of patches to enable multi-track support for the
`cd' driver, but didn't track this further waiting for Justin's SCSI
branch being merged into the main tree first.  I could probably dig
them up for you if you desire.
