8. libcdio API overhaul.
The current C API is ugly and it has become apparent if you compare
some of the OO interfaces to C API. Some deliberately missing routines
* read_mode1, read_mode2, and read_audio routines which are
combined into a single read audio routine.
* cdio_have_xxx (where xxx is aix, bsdi, etc) routines which are
subsumed by a cdio_have_driver suffices.
The "mode_access" parameter on the open_cd is largely not used and
would be better done via CD-ROM drive customization. (See 6). There
might be a CD-ROM "exclusive access" mode versus shared read as
currently exists.
The API is also non-reentrant; for example particular there is a
static loglevel variable. However tricky here either maintaining
backward compatibility or coming up with a workable proposal for
having the multiple APIs.

this. If so they might want to elaborate or expand on the above.]
