Is there any reason why ATAPI CD driver patch to read VCD &c from http://people.freebsd.org/~luoqi/ is not in stable yet after more than an year??? I have couple of cartoons on VCD for my 8 years old and I have to boot to 9x to play them. It gives him bad impression about FreeBSD (his previous systems were Ultrix on uVAX2k and NetBSD/sparc on SS1 :-) I know it's easy to apply the patch myself, but I track -STABLE and reappling patch is a PITA. Recent /dev/acd*t* commit was MFC'ed to 4-STABLE but MAKEDEV is still not updated and when I manully created devices and tried to grab a VCD track it barfed. (I tried to grab an audio track from an audio CD and it dumped 550+ megs on me). In any event luoqi's CDIOCREADCD looks like a reasonable interface and with his patch Linux MTV can play VCD directly off the CD (not that I use MTV, though). Thanks.
