OK, so my hard disc analogue recordings .wav files contain no SCMS
information. Is it not surprising though that my soundcard drivers output
these files over the optical out with SCMS set to unlimited? I'd have
expected it to send something like "SCMS-unknown" so that the MD would then
generate an "SCMS-penultimate" recording, instead of sending "SCMS-unlimited".
