Interesting.  Are these commerical discs or track-at-once home burns? (Just 
checking.  I'll assume commercial).

Could you send me (monty at xiph.org, not the list) a bit of WAV file with this
problem?  Just chop off the end of a file that has the problem, I can deal with
the raw PCM.

There's hope, at least for now :-)  It's not a bug I've heard of previously in
any AOPEN drives.
