[mythtv] [PATCH] mythvideo cd support

I have modified my code for cd support in mythvideo.
- now mythvideo support multi cdrom
- i have remove eject option
- i parse the fstab file to know the list of cdrom device

but as i said before, it should be not the better way to parse fstab in 
videotree.cpp.

What i was thinking :
- sending information about inserted media (structmedia) like device, 
mountpoint, volumename, type and perhaps a unique id (i don't know which)
for getting volume name, i can use volname program, but an other 
solution can be better. I take a look in cdrom.h, but found nothing 
about volume name ...
I would too add a cd collections feature in mythvideo and dvd/vcd 
collection in mythdvd, it's why i would like to have a unique id but i 
don't know if it's possible (probably volumename is enough for dvd)
- create a gcontext function like this :
gcontext->getMedias(type) that return a list of structmedia

with this i just should do gcontext->getMedias(MEDIATYPE_DATA) to have 
the list of available cdrom.


What do you think about that ?

any recommendations ?

Xavier
