You're barking up the wrong tree anyways. You're holding on to a

ugly race between cdrecord -scanbus and cdrecord dev=b,t,l.

Right with the exception that it's the UID (unique id) *standard* that is
addressing this issue for other operating systems in a very reliable and
already successfull way. No need to invent something different here in particular
in the storage area.
