He is talking about a kio-slave that does kind of like the cdfs kernel module, though in a more limited way. In kde, when you enter a cdaudio in your drive and open it, this kio-slave presents you the cdaudio disk in an fs-like fashion, with a number of folders. One folder containing ogg files, other mp3 files, other wav files, and so on, depending on your USE flags and such things This allows you to rip the thing by just dragging files into another folder, though to tell the truth, it never worked reliably for me in kde3, I have no idea if it has improved. mc already do this for a number of formats, like iso, via vfs's, I have no idea how complex would it be to develop this for cdaudio, but, as said we have cdfs anyway, and mc is not meant to be an audio encoder at all. I'd vote against this, unless it can be implemented purely as an vfs module or as an external addon without touching a single line of the mc core. -- Jesús Guerrero
