[sane-devel] cdrecord fails if SANE is running

[Laurent-jan Dullaart]

Hi,

As the title says, cdrecord (even the prodvd-version) fails if xsane  is=20
running.  I mailed a bug-report to the maintainer of cdrecord, but I thou=
ght=20
it would be nice if this mailinglist knew about it too. J=F6rg Schilling=20
probably will not respond.

A small log is below.

As far as I can see, SANE holds the sg-device open, even when it doesn't =
scan.=20
On the other hand, cdrecord fails if it cannot open a device, instead of =
just=20
skipping it.  By the way: not only with -scanbus, also when it is used fo=
r=20
recording.
