It's a Linux bug. You have to change the read block size to 2358 (iirc)
for raw read which you need for VCDs. Linux stores this but there is no
way to reset it to 2048 for normal data cds.

Not possible, as the problem is not in the firmware or cdrom settings itself
but the settings stored by linux.
My patch just resets the block size everytime a cdrom is opened.
(unless it's already open)
