[Libcdio-devel] update

[Robert Fuller]

I know I promised to reply with respect to GSoC, and I have been quiet.

I implemented raw P-W subchannel reading in cued about a week ago for
somebody whose drive could not do formatted Q subchannel reading.  I also
found that some of my drives that do NOT work with formatted Q  DO work well
with raw P-W.  Thus, as Peter suspected, raw P-W may be more widely
available than formatted Q.  (I have not done a formal statistical analysis,
but an informal survey suggests this to be the case.)

Then I had to leave town unexpectedly.  My grandmother is in the hospital.
I have limited Internet access here.  I do not know that I will have time to
write up something for libcdio for GSoC before whatever deadlines exist.  I
will be back home in about a week.  Rocky, can you simply add something to
the GSoC GNU webpage for libcdio with respect to adding support for
formatted Q and raw P-W subcode reading to libcdio?  Let me know.  If you
cannot, I will try to find time to write up something from here.

Regards,

Rob
