Hmm.  I believe it's the whole track -- I sat and watched about a half-hour
of it before going to bed, and on getting up, noticed the final time stamp
was about two hours after I'd started it.  I'll fire off another run and
see, though.

(I've gone back to using the stock drivers for now, as my RH box was having
problems mounting data cd's with the scsi emulation, and I was feeling too
lame to actually chase down the problem just then.  :)
