+.BI \--list_speeds
+Put out a list of speed values as reported by the output drive with
+the loaded medium. This does not necessarily mean that the medium is writable
+or that these speeds are actually achievable. Especially the
+lists reported with empty drive or with ROM media obviously advertise
+speeds for other media.
+.br
+It is not mandatory to use speed values out of the listed range.
+The drive is supposed to choose a safe speed that is as near to the desired
+speed as possible.
+.br
+At the end of the list, "Write speed L" and "Write speed H"
+are the best guesses for lower and upper speed limit.
+"Write speed l" and "Write speed h" may appear only with CD
+and eventually override the list of other speed offers.
+.br
+Only if the drive reports contradicting speed information there will appear
+"Write speed 0" or "Write speed-1", which tell the outcome of speed selection
+by options speed=0 resp. speed=-1, if it deviates from "Write speed L"
+resp. "Write speed H".
