In linux.dev.kernel you write:

>sr.c: In function `sr_attach':
>sr.c:796: warning: assignment of read-only member `speed'
>sr.c:797: warning: assignment of read-only member `capacity'

Yes, these are declared const in ucdrom.h, but they shoult'nt. These
values depend on the drive you have, so you have to write in there
something after checking drives capabilities.
