Hi, I just tried to tip an audio CD, like I did hundreds of times before. I tried to run ripit, and it complained that there was no audio CD inserted.
Taking a closer look, I found that the drive was unexpectedly provided as a USB mass storage device as /dev/sdc, with a partition containing a FAT filesystem and RIFF audio / WAV files. Now, I am using a USB CD-ROM drive, and eventually found out that, usng the USB port on the *right* hand side of my laptop, I get thie virtual mass storage device, and using the USB port on the *left* hand side, I get a /dev/sr0 device I can read CDDA from, as usual. I am running Debian sid with kernel 4.9.0-2 on amd64. I never saw the Linux kernel do something like this. Does anyone know since when, and under what circumstances, it does that, how I can control it, and why it depends on the USB port used?
