Re: cdparanoia, sector offset and last track

Okay, thanks this makes sense. The end flag I was referring to was the
i_end_case function in paranoia.c.

I'm not sure what you mean by the 'end flag'.  The :^D in the status line?

Oh, BTW, if the sector offset causes reads past the end of the
physical session and this generates read errors, the code will
eventually force a skip and fill in areas it couldn't read with
zeros.... so it is in fact possible that the end of the disc could be
'padded' with zeros when a positive offset is used... but this is more
of a last-ditch strategy for dealing with an unreadable area than it
is intentional padding.
