I recently sent a patch to add this for linux but then I thought of a
better way to do it.
I the TOC was stored in a struct somewhere, built when starting (or
changing media) using either .toc, .cue, real CD or maybe even a list
of track files this would allow to use such methods. Would be really
useful for me actually to be able to use a list of tracks but
generating toc/cue is quite easy.
