	Hi;

	Sounds like a bug to me. From the cdrdao man page:

       [ FILE | AUDIOFILE ] "<filename>" <start> [ <length> ]
              Adds  the  audio  data  of  specified  file to the current audio
              track. It is possible to select a portion of an audio file  with
              <start>  and  <length> which allows non destructive cutting. The
              first sample of an audio file is addressed with <start> = 0.  If
              <length>  is  omitted  or  set  to 0 all audio data from <start>
              until the end of file is used.
