Could you describe those holes ?

So you can predict properties of future
software with yet undefined target operating
systems ?

You could learn. It is open source.

Actually the system dependent code is consolidated
in two source modules which implement some defined
interfaces.
Inside its interface implementations, the system
adapters are free and obliged to act as the host
system demands it for CD/DVD/BD burning.

So the adapter implementation on Linux is indeed
Linux-centric - and that is good so.

My own apps on top of libburn are command line
programs: cdrskin and xorriso.


Have a nice day :)
