Yes, but why not do the blocks to bytes convertion of iov_len in _dvdcss_readv just before we call the real unix readv() function.

I'm saying that because we would not rely anymore on the user using a multiple of DVDCSS_BLOCK_SIZE for iov_len.
And we could also make a clear statement that all the libdvdcss api functions manipulate blocks (sectors) and nothing else. Which is really logical because libdvdcss deals only with DVD access.
It's my humble opinion anyway ;-)
