Obsd uses the kernel ioctl command to isse the change CD command to the
changer.

Do you actually need to tell the changer to pull in a specific disk, or
does the changer do that automatically when you access a specfic branch
of the filesystem? If the changer does it automatically there should be
no need to make any changes to obs, and just mount everything over NFS.

Just make sure you have a root Volume file for the CD changer and things
should be fine. You probably also want to make sure that the MP3 files
have good clean ID3 tags before you burn them to the CDs that you stack
into the CD changer. That will make life easier.
