    This is correct, as (looking at other programs from cdrtools) cdrecord is the
    only program that needs realtime scheduling.

    But device enumeration is the central point when implementing -scanbus.

    Note that all OS that I am aware of internally use a device enumeration scheme
    that is close to what libscg uses. This ie even true for Linux. If Linux did not
    hide this information for /dev/hd* based fd's, I could implement an abstraction
    layer.....
