CDDA.LIBRARY (beta release)
============

What is this?
-------------
cdda.library is supposed to be a high-level MorphOS library for the playback
of digital CD-ROM audio. It allows developers to play back CD audio tracks with
as little fuss as possible.

Some features:
  - high-level API
	 -> no device messing.
  - automatic CD-ROM drive recognition
	 -> user-friendly: users don't have to remember device/unit of their drive.
  - safe and system-friendly (at least that's my intention ;))
  - search for CD drives by certain criteria
	 -> e. g. when you write a game and want to play soundtrack from CD, find
		 automatically the drive which has the game CD in it (used e.g. by ScummVM).
  - supports CDID information
	 -> useful for CD player purposes.
  - event callback hooks
	 -> receive events like current playing time, track crossing, stop, pause, etc.
  - "resource manager" (erm, a little bit)
	 -> one program can't mess too easily with another program's audio play.

Installation
------------
Just copy the file cdda.library.elf to LIBS: - that's it. You can also double-click
the provided install icon from MorphOS desktop.

Beta issues
-----------
- Drive recognition code has been changed lately and is a bit untested. It should
  be "safer" than the old code, but may not work with all (esp. old) CD file systems.
  Tested and ok with OS3.5/3.9's CacheCDFS. If there's any problem, e-mail me please!
- Drives mounted after the library has been loaded into memory are not recognized.
  Quit all programs using the library and do an "avail flush" in a shell.
