Subject: [PATCH] Allow CD marker at session start #8029

This removes the restriction to not place a CD marker at
session start.

This helps in getting rid of some inconsistencies. Also,
the previous policy didn't help in enforcing the Red Book standard.

Two seconds of pregap are implicitly created by DDP mastering tools
and CD burning software.
