I think the problem with this is that it needs a proper driver infrastructure and putting some code from winex11 that belongs into user32 there. Nobody knows how to do it, so it is certainly beyond the scope of a gsoc project. We tried it before(DIB engine), and it failed miserably.

Sounds cool, although I am wondering what happened to the GStreamer code. Was it merged? > 3. Implementing SCSI support on Mac OS X.

My sense is that this mainly needs a replacement cdrom driver, which should stay outside of the Wine tree in a separate project(Correct me if I am wrong). That's not necessarily a blocker for making this a Wine gsoc project - it would even mean that you don't have to get all your code past Alexandre.
