How does gnome or kde recognize blank cd when you plug in a blank cd it will notify you what you want to do with the blank cd.
Windows is similar.
which call I should call to recognize the cd type?

Please don't crosspost the same question in multiple forums.
Replies to this post should go to Does ioctl with CDROM_DISC_STATUS recognize blank cd?.
