libdvdcss appears to call open(), read(), seek(), and close() directly
instead of taking a file handle or using a set of wrappers for these
routines, so you are currently unable to playback encrypted ISOs using
Storage Groups because even though libdvdnav uses our I/O wrapper
routines in order to talk to the backend, we can't force your local
installed copy of libdvdcss to use those same wrappers.  A couple
solutions have been discussed, but we can't say when one might be
implemented.  We will _not_ be touching libdvdcss or providing a patch,
etc. for this lib, so we're keeping our hands off that.  It will still
be up to the user to decide if/when they want to install libdvdcss.
