Blocks on CD media are always 2048 bytes long (disregarding correction data). The 512-byte block size as implemented by a few CD drives is simply an ability to present chunks of native blocks in 512-byte amounts. This is just an artifical feature to fulfill a requirement of broken firmware that asserts that disks have 512-byte sectors. -- + Maciej W.
