    Joerg, it may not be perfect, but it does work. If you're still worried about
    how a few of the currently unmaintained devices still don't support SG_IO
    then I suggest you find someone to take maintainership.

    I have neither the skill nor the want to do it or I would, just to see if it
    quieted you down any.

    BTW, make it more than a couple of weeks for the patch I mentioned for libscg
    - I still need a response about my suggestion to use the BTL addresses Linux
    provides as the addresses passed around from libscg to cdrecord.
