Hi all,  
Just curious, whether SDL development team have any plans to implement cdda extraction calls along with cd control and play funcs.  
I need this in my project on Windows/Linux and since I’m using pygame for that it would be nice to embed cdda extraction directly into SDL instead of writing my own python modules.  
If you have such a plans I can take that piece over and provide function like:  
SDL\_SYS\_Read(…) for both Win and Linux platforms  
Thanks,  
Bors/

Not really. I’m curious why you need it?

See ya,
