I'm not sure if this is a bug report or a request because I don't know if it's intentional ... but fact is, foobar's converter is altering audio-data without explicitly being told to, and I did not find an option to turn it off. The problem is it's handling of the first pregap in a CUE. let me give an example:

notice the difference? the INDEX 00/INDEX 01 combination is turned into a PREGAP/INDEX 01 combination. This would not be a big deal, but foobar is cutting of the first second of the image! and this is crucial. it alters the CRC value of the image so that the EAC calculated CRC is useless and even worse, if there is audio (e.g. a hidden track) in this first few seconds or minutes (Songs for the Deaf by QotSA has a pregap of ~1:30min) it is lost. this renders the converter virtually useless for Images with embedded CUE sheets, at least for all with such a gap before the first track. this behaviour is new I think ... please make it the way it behaved before!
