Package: jack
Severity: wishlist
If the user doesn't specify a device and /dev/cdrom doesn't exist, it
would be nice if jack could fall back to the device(s) listed in
/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info (at least on Linux).

I think it's pretty stable. Except for adding new capabilities it's been
unchanged since the 2.2.x days.
Maybe Jens can comment more on it?

Yeah it's stable, new entries have been added at the end if necessary. I
don't necessarily think it's a super way to find these things out,
sometimes older SCSI drives fail some of the mode sense / capability
probing and don't show correct values. So one could do better in user
space.
But at least it's a generic way to see which devices have been
registered as CDROM's, if that is the goal.
