I suppose the ideal would be to have a metadata block to store the
subcode from a CD, and something that could interpret it as CD-TEXT, if
that's what it is. Then it would be possible to add other interpretation
mechanism, such as Karaoke-CD and so on.

The format is fairly well documented in the manpage, and seems pretty
stable to me. There's also a program called toc2cue that comes with
cdrdao that would provide some information. (This is what I use to
convert the TOC files to CUE files to make the cue sheets, though I seem
to lose a lot of information when I do that.)
