There is at least one problem with /dev/sg. Most other programs
(for example hal) use /dev/sr for probing optical devices and
the O_EXCL lock is not shared between sr and sg, thus it does not
work.
See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226019 for details.
Using /dev/sr consistently should be the correct way with recent kernels.
