Hi again!

It turns out the library is correct.  I managed to read and decode the Q 
sub-channel.  All of the absolute addresses in the Q sub-channel are +2 
minutes for the lead-in.  There is no need for an option.

Cue sheets just happen to be a special case.  When you create a cue 
sheet, you subtract the 2 minutes because you don't generally save the 
lead-in when you rip a CD.

I have another question I'll introduce in another thread.

Thank you.
