Concentrate on the UDF stuff, all the rest is there, or will be shortly.

There has been one individual with a DVD-R SCSI drive on the list
already, I think he got it to work. You need to use cdrecord anyways
since there is no burnersupport in the SCSI chain.

There has also been talks about the UDF filesystem, but I dont think
anybody has actually started it yet (I know I have it way down on
my TODO list :) )

So, when do we have an UDF filesystem :)
