Playing a .cue file directly will now parse the .cue file, and load and
play the file(s) referenced in the cue. If multiple files are referenced,
a timeline including all files will be created to create the impression
of a single, flat audio file containing all the tracks.
For each track, a chapter is created. The chapter navigation commands can
be used to jump between tracks. The chapter titles will use the string
provided by the track's TITLE cue command. (The -identify command can be
used to print all chapters in a not so user friendly way.)
Other than the chapter names, there is no attempt at displaying or exposing
any other meta data contained in the cue files yet.
The handling (or lack of thereof) of gaps (track pregaps and postgaps) is
probably not correct yet. In general, mplayer's mapping of tracks to the
source audio files can be verified by examining the timeline, which will
be printed when passing the -v switch.
Note that this has nothing to do with the old cue:// support. The old code
isn't touched, and is still only able to play .cue/.bin pairs. Prefixing a
.cue file with cue:// will always invoke the old code, while playing a .cue
file directly (i.e. "mplayer file.cue") will always use the new code.
Playing audio images (.cue/.bin pairs of files) doesn't work yet.
