Re: [Libcdio-devel] problems with libcdio on openbsd (and probably netbsd too)

[Edd Barrett]

Hi Rocky,

Thanks for the explanation. I don't think I can even set up the cabling you 
explained as I'm using a laptop drive attached using a USB adaptor. It's the 
only working drive I could find!

That said, I was expecting 'cdda-player -s' to stop the drive when it was 
already playing. The ioctl seems the succeed, but something must be making it 
play again. I'll look into it. Maybe I shouldn't worry.

Is there a utility I can use to test all of the modern usages of cd drives?

As for memory leaks, I've must admit I've not checked yet, but I will give it a 
shot soonish.

Thanks!
