Simonmcnair: Clarification

I think that this section needs clarifying: it's not clear whether the work-around given applies only to earlier versions of EAC, or to all. Be explicit, please! (I'm not just editing it myself, because I don't know this stuff nearly well enough -- sorry!)

This is still necessary as of version EAC V1.0 beta 3. I think this applies equally to all versions of EAC provided that you wish to use the 'User Defined Encoder' option in EAC.
