Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
- Automatically attach chapters from .CUE file named the same (sans extension of course) as the audio file playing. The same as subtitle files automatically read during video file playback.
Alternative behavior of the wanted feature
- When .CUE file playback requested explicitly, then treat it as a playlist instead.

Research direction
Start by tracing mpv’s existing automatic subtitle-file discovery and explicit playlist handling, as described in the request. Define how matching audio and .CUE basenames should attach chapters, how explicit .CUE playback should behave as a playlist, and add coverage for both paths.
