	It seems somebody made something similar :

	http://home.wanadoo.nl/meilof/2005/01/13/index.html#libdvdnav-nodrive
	http://home.wanadoo.nl/meilof/filez/libdvdnav-dvdreader-nodevice-diff

	At least it helps in case of mounted DVD . 
	It prevents libdvdread from referring to 
	physical mounted device.
