We don't have a way of determining the label of a mixed mode CD - Linux doesn't allow raw access !
Well, actually this message is dead wrong. Linux doesn't allow "normal" block device access, but there are certainly ioctls for special CD-ROM sector formats available. A lot of experimentation of mine didn't enable me to find out how the serial of a mixed-mode CD gets calculated, though. Reading the label of a mixed-mode CD is an entirely different matter, of course.
Either you intend to hack on it a bit, or it'll definitely be on my ToDo list for the next weeks to come.
As an experiment, I disabled this check in misc/cdrom.c, and it worked quite happily.
Hmm, then this program didn't really have demanding requirements ;)
Now, if I could just work out why the OpenGL is flashing...
