[vlc-devel] getting CD-ROM drive capabilities adn libcdio

[R. Bernstein]

I've been meaning to add a libcdio interface to the GNU/Linux:
  ioctl(fd, CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY, ...)

This let's you know the capabilities of CD-ROM device:
e.g. CD (reading), CDRW (writing), DVD (reading), write DVD-R, write
DVD-RAM. It may be useful in applications like vlc to find what
plugins to try. 

I've just committed the change for GNU/Linux in CVS. Anyone have
ideas how to ioctl(CDOM_GET_CAPABILITY) on other OS's? 

Thanks.
