Please note that some versions of driver and/or redirector
and/or CD-ROM will fail/refuse to play a CD, if they are told
to play too many audio frames (that is, if the number of frames
specified significantly exceeds the number available, from the
given starting point on the CD). This effect is probably due to
an arithmetic overflow in some driver and/or redirector code
and/or CD-ROM firmware. Probably nothing to do with your
particular problem - but I thought I should mention this, just
in case.

Also ... not sure what you are saying with the last
sentence of the following paragraph ...

Joe.
