All right. However, I guess the driver interface of some common drivers will
remain the same, so I should be able to simply use current GNUMach drivers
(some of which are actually Linux drivers like in OSKit, maybe older).

I am actually simply willing to play an audio CD under the Hurd, which should
be pretty easy. The Linux generic cdrom driver defines a set of ioctl calls to
do this; I believe this can be done with the mach version of this driver
through the device_set_status() call, is it correct? I just can't find the
defines for such operations in the source.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
