at the moment it's created for -t vcd2 and -t svcd,
but it's a very simple one, it basically consits of a play list per track,
with a hardcoded wait time of 5 secs...

btw, a solution I'm thinking of, is to create chapter entries, pointing
directly to the end of those blank lead in sectors, and having the play
list referencing that entry point as play item(s) with a wait time of 0
secs...

yeah, the source is available... so just go ahead and hack around if need
some feature not supported yet... :)

with open source, the tools may not be as feature rich as proprietary
ones, but at least you can try to hack them in yourself... =)

btw, Matto Marjanovic sent already some PBC hack for menu creation (or
something like that) to the development list, I didn't have time to look
at it yet, but I'll do asap...
