Request: Allow overly-large cue sheets

[iskunk]

Hello, my use case is the following:

I have an audio file comprising 183 tracks and nearly 8.5 hours of music. It comes from a YouTube rip of a game soundtrack video. I would like to load this single audio file into my player application (Audacious, which uses libcue) and have the player present individual tracks in its GUI like any other album.

(As far as I've been able to find, cue sheets are the only widely-recognized "playlist format" that allow a single audio file to be split into multiple tracks in this manner.)

This is already possible, but only up to a point. When I load my 183-track cue-sheet playlist into the player, I see 98 tracks, with track 97 lasting nearly five hours. (This is Ubuntu 18.04 with libcue 1.4.0. I have verified that 2.2.1 still yields "too many tracks" errors, but have not been able to confirm what exactly comes out of the parse.)

As you can see, my use case has nothing to do with the limitations of CD media. I would like to request, then, that these limitations not be present in the libcue library. A CD-burning application should arguably enforce such limits itself, not least as there may be other writable optical media with greater limits.
