Not needed; that command is enough to indicate what's wrong.

Not a bug. You've not told xine-lib that it's a DVD image, and it can't
automatically detect this.

I don't think that we can sensibly add UDF auto-detection at library level
without fiddling with the file plugin (which is what you're actually trying
to use); and if we do this for DVD images, why not for VCD images too?
Various kinds of device node? (This is probably "wontfix" territory, but it
needs a little discussion, I think.)

Anyway, you need "dvd://path/to/dvd.iso", with full URL escaping; or you
could add some some filename-based detection in the front end (as I've
already done for gxine in experimental).
