Looks like this is a useful document, thanks for the pointer. But that's
the scsi-3 draft, guess it is'nt implemented yet in current cdrom readers.

Hav'nt tried this, but will do if I come back from holidays...
The generic cdrom driver already has a ioctl for that, but none of
the existing drivers supports this as far I know.
