1. Modify cdrecord so that if a device is not specified it will do a -scanbus . Present the user with a choice of cd recorders from which to chose from . Ideally there should be a generic device query interface to the system so other similar utilities can do the same thing . 2. Create an LDAP schema to store the configuration for cdrecord. the entry should have: host , InetOrgPerson, cd recorder brand/model, device name, scsibus address, CD-R speed, CD-RW speed... I can provide a servlet which can manage the configuration of the LDAP server. If you are interested on LDAP see: http://www.openldap.org and/or send me email. 3. A bit more dificult. Create a shared library module out of cdrecord with an interface similar to netscape's plug-in . Pick a graphical utility for instance gcombust and interface it to the plug-in. 4. Pie in the sky: Do step 2 and use xml as your protocol . For instance , if an app such gcombust sents a status query to the plug-in its response should be encapsulated in xml : detailing the device , current status : recording/pause/playing/stop.
