Well, the idea is that you get one device pr CD track, that way you can
do what you want with them, ie to rip audio track 4 you do:
dd if=/dev/acdNt4 of=track4.raw bs=2352
To mount data track5 with an ISO filesys:
mount -t cd9660 /dev/acdNt5 /cdrom
If you want to collect all audio tracks together you would just
use the normal /dev/acd0c device, read the TOC of the CD so
you know where they are, set the right blocksize, and there
you go (that works now BTW).
