My current thinking right now is to create a MMC object for all of the
cached information
like last request sense data, GET CONFIGURATION, READ DISC INFORMATION and
other "fat" pieces of data.  Possibly each piece of data would be malloc'd
as needed.

This then would go into the CdIo object and the sense data removed from
there since it would now be part of the MMC object.

Other applications that might want to use this MMC information but don't
want to have Cdio objects could do so.

So if I have the above correct, I think this has to wait until we have a way
to get and cache current profile information. Right?
