One way around this is to more generally support a rolling window of the checksum. Python Audio Tools (unmaintained upstream I think or the author lost interest) has this kind of lookup so you can discover by how many samples offset a match is in the AR1 and AR2 database. There's a practical range of offsets for which disc reading hardware exists within this range, and then you're calculating everything trying to find a match in one go.
AccurateRip has an inconvenient truth that every entry is likely offset by 30 extra samples. Would project maintainers be interested in a largely backwards-incompatible change to use the real-life drive offset correction values?
It would mean uglier AccurateRip v1 and v2 checksum calculating, where we will sometimes have to pre-read samples from the prior track or do some null-filling tricks in order to match the AccurateRip DB entries.
I may be willing to contribute to the PR if the team is on-board and I get time.
