Yes, there is problem; some systems do not set /dev/dvd to DVD device.
Do you know any method how to determine pathname of DVD device?
Otherwise we should add instruction to bltk/doc how to set /dev/dvd
manually.

Thanks.
Vladimir.

I found today that bltk player didn't work until I did this:

# ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd

Don't know, offhand, who creates /dev/dvd and if it is universal.
Don't know why on this box the PATA drive was a /dev/sr0
instead of /dev/hdc like it was on a similar box...

But somehow eject(1) was able to find the device without /dev/dvd,
maybe we can figure out what it does and copy it...

Certainly this potential snag merits mention in the current docs.
