I haven't had a chance to look at this yet, never mind try it out, but there's one thing I'd be interested in knowing: How does it handle dual-mode CD's (those with a combination of data and audio tracks) ???
I'd like to see it handle those by one of the following, but have no idea if either is possible:
1. "mount /dev/cdrom" results in a separate directory called /audio appearing with the relevant files within it.
2. "mount /dev/cdrom" can be used twice, once each with iso9660 and audiofs as the mount type, with different mount points.
Comments?
Best wishes from Riley.
