Wis you ever look at the cdrecord sources?
Cdrecord relies on libscg which is a generic SCSI transport library. It has been first written in August 1986 when I wrote the first SCSI pass through driver (for SunOS-3.0) - long before Adapted came out with ASPI. In the 16 years of evolution, it has been ported to > 30 different platforms (not including CPU variants like sparc/x86).
If you force cdrecord to rely on CD-ROM only interfaces, you make Linux unusable in general. Do you really like to create an unusable Linux just to avoid creating a usable generic SCSI transport interface? Jörg
