The discussion is quite entertaining, so much energy! Then it is easy to move to a grand solution! The legal issues can be sorted out easily if Joerg joins debian-legal for a short time and solves any issues there. Some bits of rhetorics might be needed to make collaboration happen, though (I have read some threads already).
There needs to be a way for the kernel to provide drive state changes. Insertion of an audio CD-ROM may lead to an audio player being started. Is it possible to detect the Media ID of an empty medium? To determine burn speed, the system (kernel/desktop) may need some special information. Calling cdrecord would be one solution for this, but does it work on empty DVD media as well? k3b can detect media if I poll it by pressing a button. I don't know how it does the detection, though. It should be triggered by HAL (event-based). What do you think? André Heynatz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
