Unfortunately, it doesn't, because these reports refer to common audio
formats like wav instead to bin images.

The cue driver depends on the MSF addressing scheme, i.e. there must be a
relation between the playback time and the position of data in the file
holding the audio data.

It would be necessary to introduce a second "addressing scheme" that is
somehow based on the playback time itself, i.e. skip when seeking a track and
EOF if playback duration has elapsed (*), in order to allow a cue file to be
something like a playlist for whatever audio (or video) formats.

(*) I currently don't know whether this is possible within the stream driver.
