Re: [Libcdio-devel] new cdtext interface

Hi Rob,

first of all, there are nearly no commercial disks, that have 
multilanguage CD-Text.

Default is the first language on the disc (block 0).

Yes. The main difference is, that you now have one structure for the 
whole disc.

Calling cdio_get_cdtext the first time will trigger the reading and 
caching. It is not part of the TOC parsing. You have to call it 
manually. If you are interested in the mmc, look at  
mmc_read_cdtext_private in mmc/mmc.c.

cdio_get_cdtext calls cdio_get_cdtext_raw, which you can do yourself if 
you are interested int the binary data.
