I created a bin/cue image of an "enhanced" audio CD in IsoBuster. First session contains 17 audio tracks, second session contains a data track. The cue sheet looks like this (for brevity I removed tracks 3-16 below):

FILE "no.bin" BINARY

REM ORIGINAL MEDIA-TYPE: CD

  REM SESSION 01        (*)
    TRACK 01 AUDIO
      ISRC USIR70200001
      INDEX 01 00:00:00
         REM LBA: 0
    TRACK 02 AUDIO
      ISRC USIR70200002
      INDEX 01 02:10:53
         REM LBA: 9803
    ::   ::

    TRACK 17 AUDIO
      ISRC USIR70200017
      INDEX 01 31:08:34
         REM LBA: 140134

  REM LEAD-OUT 33:48:70 (*)

REM (*) SESSION commands are not supported by all applications

If I mount the image, cdemu only emulates the first (audio) session. I initially thought this was due to IsoBuster's non-standard cue file (the CDRWIN syntax does not support multiple sessions, so to get around this IsoBuster adds some non-standard keywords which are inserted as a comment). However, then I found this old issue:

https://sourceforge.net/p/cdemu/mailman/message/19658529/

This also uses IsoBuster's extended syntax, and the response to it appears to suggest that this is actually supposed to work. I did notice that IsoBuster's syntax seems to have changed somewhat in the meantime: the example shown in that old issue contains for each track something like this:

REM MSF: 03:47:24 = LBA: 17049

With the latest IsoBuster version I get this instead:

REM LBA: 140134

I have no idea if this is related to the mount problem. I actually wanted to throw the image at image-analyzer and then post the output here, but I can't find any information on how to invoke image-analyzer! Because of copyright reasons I cannot make the image file publicly available here, but I can share it off-list if that helps.
