Blocks on CD media are always 2048 bytes long (disregarding correction
data). The 512-byte block size as implemented by a few CD drives is
simply an ability to present chunks of native blocks in 512-byte amounts.
This is just an artifical feature to fulfill a requirement of broken
firmware that asserts that disks have 512-byte sectors.
