Adding a new one is not very complicated. Use send-pr to submit your changes. > 2. What about audio CDs. Wormcontrol mentions "fixate > toc-type" 0 as CD audio. There is also CDI. Nobody (not that i knew) has been testing audio CDs by now. Our cdrom driver doesn't know about CD-DA either. > 3. Can I make a copy of CD ROM using dd if=/dev/rcdrom or > something like that? Even from Audio CD or CDI? dd will quickly starve, since it can do only one thing (input _or_ output) at a time. Trust me, i've tried it. Use team. I wouldn't risk burning it from a CD directly, though it seems like it might be possible. I've donated an entire 1.8 GB disk to hold the CD images... Use at your own risk, and keep us posted.
