Hi,

I haven't seen this question asked before. Is it possible to mount an
audio CD is a "raw" mode to that a VM instance can access the audio
tracks as if it were a physical CD-ROM drive? It seems that the current
implementation presents a CD-ROM to the VM, not CD-DA.

Thanks!

Regards

Erik

You can do this with SCSI pass-through.  With QEMU you can use this
command line:

   -device virtio-scsi-pci
   -drive if=none,file=/dev/sr0,id=sr0
   -device scsi-block,drive=sr0

if you have a new enough guest (Linux 3.4+ or Fedora 16 or RHEL6.3 or
clones).  Older guests can use "-device lsi" instead.
