VLC fails to report the elapsed time when playing `cdda://@1'.
Using the `rc' interface, the `get_time' command always returns 0.
To reproduce, put an audio CD in your CD player and do as follows:

   $ vlc -I rc cdda://@1
   get_time

Note that VLC reports zero no matter how far into the track it is.

Interestingly, this problem does not occur with `vlc cdda://',
nor with `vlc cdda:// --cdda-track 1' --- the latter of which may
be used instead of `vlc cdda://@1' as a workaroud for this bug.

	Hello,

I cannot reproduce this problem with Debian VLC 2.2, nor with upstream 3.0.
Does this still occur?
