I doubt it matters really, it won't be long before someone has a way around it. If a "normal" CD player can play it, then somehting like a Plextor with the right software will definitely do it, at least after the software has been written.

(Highlights)

Secondary C2 extraction mode (may work better for some kind of erraneous CDs and for some but not every drive. Even if it may be misused for copy protected CDs, using this mode on protected CDs is only allowed when legal in your country). This mode is up to now very basic, and will be improved in upcoming versions.

Manual detection of TOC, usefull if a CD is defective and displays wrong track positions or data tracks instead of audio, EAC will try to detect the CD structure by analysis. For this, your drive must support Gap Detection mode B.
