to be exact it doesn't read sectors, as with audio there are no sectors,
just stream of data without any sector marks. so drive just reads sequence
of data it gets near lens, without being sure next "sector" will be just
after first. that's why CD paranoia has correction procedures that ensures
data read is really sequential
