One of the Japanese engineers on the list posted about getting this
to work about a year ago.

If I remember correctly, he also read audio format CD's as data, so

The full multisession spec, including their Unicode extensions, is
available on the Microsoft Windows95 DDK CD.  From what I remember,
multiple sessions are *required* for Unicode encoding.
