As a result, cdparanoia (and other extraction +libraries/utilities) are not available; and many other packages depending on +these can't be built in Debian GNU/Hurd either. + +Adding support for audio extraction shouldn't be too hard. It requires +implementing a number of additional ioctl()s, generating the appropriate ATAPI +commands. + +The goal of this task is fully working cdparanoia in Debian GNU/Hurd. It will +require digging a bit into Hurd internals and ATAPI commands, but should be +quite doable without any previous knowledge about either. + +Possible mentors: + +Exercise: Look at the implementation of the existing ioctl()s, and try to find +something that could be easily added/improved.
