	Yeah, that could do but it should be noted that (I might
be wrong, correct me please if I am) racd0c is a raw device whilst
acd0c is a cooked device
	Ogle gets direct access with racd0c. Unnecessary caching
occur with acd0c since the disk cache is used but is not necessary
(gives no performance boost) for dvd playback. The developers say
they can change that in the future, racd0c for ioctl and acd0c for
rest if we find it necessary.... however, I think racd0c is the
right device.
	What do you think?

	Regards,
