On my rig for a long time now, I have used the sr0 device. My DVD/CD
burning app, k3b, uses it for the CD/DVD drives. It works. From my
understanding this switched quite some time ago but can't recall the
reasoning behind it.
I don't have /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd anymore. Everything so far has
worked tho. It just uses /dev/sr0 instead.
Hope that helps.
