Description

When dumping CDs with data in "track 0", Aaru seems to mistakenly dump this data as scrambled on supported drives, due to "track 0" being the pregap of the audio track 1. When dumping with drives that support scrambled reading commands, the sectors in Aaru dumps seem to be scrambled. When dumping with drives that do not support these commands, the sectors appear to not be scrambled. For reference, I was made aware of a similar bug in DIC (https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImageCreator/issues/104), and the unscrambled dumps made using DIC seem to resemble the Aaru dumps made with drives that support scrambled reading, and the current test build of DIC that supports descrambling these data pregaps roughly match Aaru dumps made with drives that don't support scrambled reading. There is still an offset difference between the Aaru and DIC dumps, but once accounted for the respective images seem to be identical.

Exact command line used

`aaru m dump F: "Star Wars Test.aaruf"

Expected behavior

Data portion of audio track pregap to be dumped consistently between drives, regardless of commands supported.

Actual behavior

Data portion of audio track pregap doesn't match between drives based on whether or not they support scrambled reading commands

Output of command execution with debug output enabled
