Actually, I think either would do. But given my mistake, how can I determine 
what device the CD is in?

Ok, on my system (Kubuntu 7.10, KDE 4.0.0), I get the following:

access->filePath() returns ""
access->isAccessable() returns false
access->setup() returns true
access->setupDone() contains errors: 
Error Data  QVariant(QByteArray, "mount: block device /dev/scd0 is 
write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

I also get a number of empty return values when I deal with the OpticalDisc 
object too. Not sure if it is a packaging problem, or because the CD isn't 
mounted the methods don't return values. 

thanks
