	I've been mute about this for a while, but I figured I should report  
it.
	My BlueRay DVD drive combo has a number of quirks that need to be  
worked out with ata(4):
	- It plays audio/data CD media perfectly fine, and data DVDs  
perfectly fine.
	- It doesn't play region locked DVDs, but it will play region  
unlocked DVDs (mplayer, vlc).
	- It suffers from frequent burn errors (burncd, cdrecord, growisofs)  
during the burn process (not the fixation process).

	I've seen complaints about the firmware maker (Matsushita) on some  
mplayer sites and how the drives suck, but they were complaining about  
region locking, and this issue with the drive appears to be  
centralized in a more ata specific way.
	I'm using an extremely up-to-date CURRENT (today, 4pm), and I've seen  
this issue occur with 7.0-RELEASE, PC-BSD, and 8-CURRENT, so I doubt  
that the issues are regression related.
	The idenf for the drive is: `HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW GGC-H20L 1.03'; a link  
to the specs sheet can be found here: <http://us.lge.com/download/product/file/1000003670/h_ggch20l_spec_sheet.pdf 
 >. They don't have a product page though and it wasn't listed on the  
website :(.
	Will provide more data as requested.
Thanks,
-Garrett
