>Description:
The follwing patch adds a speed setting feature for optical drives
(DVDs and CDROMs) to dkctl. I'm not sure that here is the right place
to implement this feature (maybe not...)  but sure that many people
need way to control drive speeds.

This is similar to:

Linux's speedcontrol
http://noto.de/speed/speedcontrol.c

Windows's Nero DriveSpeed

>How-To-Repeat:
Play a cd or dvd and hear the noise.
