Public bug reported:
Many digital audio fans convert their CD collection to a lossless format
(single file flac + cue, or ape + cue, or wv + cue) for storage &
playback in their home server. This is usually to preserve a bit-by-bit
copy of the original and also to preserve inter-track gaps which in some
recordings is very important (i.e., live recordings).
When doing this, it is most common to store the collection in a folder
tree structure and then playback from there; digital media collection
managers are too limiting and usually get confused with the .cue files.
I do the above and use audacious as my main music player. I usually
launch audacious by right-clicking in one of the above-mentioned folders
and selecting "open with audacious" in nautilus.
The problem is, when the folder contains the .cue and the single file
flac/ape/wv, audacious loads both the tracks listed in the .cue and the
flac/etc media file itself too: it plays the CD twice unless you delete
the last entry in the playlist which is annoying.
This is to request a configuration option to the .cue sheet plugin so
that, when loading a new cue sheet list whose content is in one (or
more) flac/ape/wv files, it prevents audacious from automatically adding
the media files themselves to the playlist, when opening a folder with
audacious (or when dragging & dropping a folder in the playlist window).
