[Libcdio-devel] Eject

[R. Bernstein]

Just to let folks know where things stand with a libcdio
release. Diego indicated that there may be things that he might want
to put in libcdio. However he's been a bit busy so I said we would
wait patiently.  (But Diego: if there's anything you want or can to
offload to let me look at, let me know.)

As mentioned before, it's possible on 2.6 GNU/Linux kernels you may
have be in a group or some sort of permission. Not completely sure,
but there were some accounts where eject wasn't working. It may also
have to do with what else is running that may be grabbing the CD.  For
example had been (and still is?) the case in Solaris.

Has been done. Thanks for the suggestion.
