oops. ok, yes i see that is like a cue sheet one would use to burn the
cd. where our bin/cue support only handles whole-large files. i get it.

individual files vs one big bin file.
so this cue file would be more of a playlist file.

all i can think of is dvd support that plays directories of
individual .vob files.
e.g. dvd:// -dvd-device /path/to/VIDEO_TS/

but that would probably take a lot of effort to code for cue/wav.

easier to just do mplayer *.wav  :P

detect these cue files and modify playlist code to support them? too
many security issues ? :\

thanks for answering my dumb question, ignore me!
