This is not to say that I like either of libcdaudio or mpeglib.  Both are
disgustingly non documented, and well rather annoying non-intuitive.

int CDRomToc::getStartEnd(int fd, int &startToc,int &endToc)
	Start what?  End What?  End WHAT of the toc?  WHAT?!!

int CDRomToc::readToc(int fd,int num,int& min,int& sec, int& frame)
	Read WHAT?  The toc?  What part of it?  EH?

And that's not to say that the mpeglib plugins work either.  The lovely
tabs in there make parsing the generated files and their generated output
(i.e. the gcc commandline) a pain in the ass.

Grrr..
