We think we do support CD-TEXT import and put these information in the 
tags. Even though due to the CD-TEXT limitations (all capital letters ? 
limited number of letters ?) it's usually better to use the tags found 
in a database. But for home-made CDs with CD-TEXT info, that can be 
useful (I have some).

Nop. If you want a unique way to identify a track/mix that's with the 
ISRC. And that's supported in the tags. I *highly* suggest that this 
information be kept from the CD.

Supported with chapters. The index is a sub-chapter of the main chapter. 
So we get the hidden track, which is not hidden anymore... (unless the 
player is configured to start at the sub-chapter with INDEX01 name/ID.

Yes, we should support everything.

It could be included as attachements. It could be optional and off by 
default. It's nice when the content is a video, although a proper 
Matroska file with the video would be nicer...

Computers don't support these formats very well yet. But there shouldn't 
be any problem supporting the audio and meta-information inside.
