Description James Westby 2009-02-25 18:00:48 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Hi,

I couldn't get goobox to play any CDs. Opening it would show "Invalid device" as would changing the drive in the preferences or using "--device".

The issue was to do with symlinks. It resolved the device it tried to use to the final /dev/sr0, but was still using the /dev/scd0 it picked up from /proc.

Resolving both sides fully fixes this for me. Patch attached.

Thanks,

James
