Aargh! Tried to make it better, but forgot to reverse the ucdrom.h changes
before trying if it works :-(

Is'nt there a way to get around this read-only warning with a simple cast?
I don't like this complicated reference-cast-dereference construct just
for avoiding a warning...

Anyway, here is the *working* version.
