Oh, I'm sure there is a way if it works with XINE and mpegTV, but
thinking about it again, IMHO it still is a kernel bug if it does not
reset the drive to default behaviour when the device file handle is
closed.

Doing some short testing, I can't reproduce the problem.
If I play a SVCD with "mplayer vcd://1" I can still mount it fine
afterwards (kernel 2.4.22).  And the VCD reading code does nothing
suspicious, it just reads the toc and uses the CDROMREADRAW ioctl to
read the raw sectors, nothing of that should change the state of the
driver.
