/** Data source interface for tracks.
    This allows to use arbitrary program code as provider of track input data.

    Objects compliant to this interface are either provided by the application
    or by API calls of libburn: burn_fd_source_new() , burn_file_source_new(),
    and burn_fifo_source_new().

    The API calls allow to use any file object as data source. Consider to feed
    an eventual custom data stream asynchronously into a pipe(2) and to let
    libburn handle the rest. 
    In this case the following rule applies:
    Call burn_source_free() exactly once for every source obtained from
    libburn API. You MUST NOT otherwise use or manipulate its components.

    In general, burn_source objects can be freed as soon as they are attached
    to track objects. The track objects will keep them alive and dispose them
    when they are no longer needed. With a fifo burn_source it makes sense to
    keep the own reference for inquiring its state while burning is in
    progress.

    ---

    The following description of burn_source applies only to application
    implemented burn_source objects. You need not to know it for API provided
    ones.

    If you really implement an own passive data producer by this interface,
    then beware: it can do anything and it can spoil everything.

    In this case the functions (*read), (*get_size), (*set_size), (*free_data)
    MUST be implemented by the application and attached to the object at
    creation time.
    Function (*read_sub) is allowed to be NULL or it MUST be implemented and
    attached.

    burn_source.refcount MUST be handled properly: If not exactly as many
    references are freed as have been obtained, then either memory leaks or
    corrupted memory are the consequence.
    All objects which are referred to by *data must be kept existent until
    (*free_data) is called via burn_source_free() by the last referer.
*/
struct burn_source {

	/** Reference count for the data source. MUST be 1 when a new source
            is created and thus the first reference is handed out. Increment
            it to take more references for yourself. Use burn_source_free()
            to destroy your references to it. */

	    either deliver the full buffer as defined by size or MUST deliver
	    EOF (return 0) or failure (return -1) at this call or at the
	    next following call. I.e. the only incomplete buffer may be the
	    last one from that source.
	    libburn will read a single sector by each call to (*read).
	    The size of a sector depends on BURN_MODE_*. The known range is
	    2048 to 2352.

            If this call is reading from a pipe then it will learn
            about the end of data only when that pipe gets closed on the
            feeder side. So if the track size is not fixed or if the pipe
            delivers less than the predicted amount or if the size is not
            block aligned, then burning will halt until the input process
            closes the pipe.

	    If this function pointer is NULL, then the struct burn_source is of

    This is the sysadmin friendly way to open one drive and to leave all

    non-obtrusive way to use libburn:
      burn_drive_add_whitelist() , burn_drive_scan() , burn_drive_grab()

    occupied and not closed by burn_drive_scan().
    This can be done by shutting down the library including a call to
    burn_finish(). You may later start a new libburn session and should then
    use the function described here with an address obtained after
    burn_drive_scan() via burn_drive_d_get_adr(drive_infos[driveno].drive,adr).
