There appears no /dev/sr for the passthrough drive. Since libburn
on Linux currently insists in finding a /dev/sr which points to the
drive, there is need for an udev rule.
There appears no /dev/sr for the passthrough drive. Thus libburn will not
list it by its drive search function. One may use it nevertheless. But
xorriso will only do so if prefix "mmc:" is used with the address:
{{{
-dev mmc:/dev/vda
}}}
The drive will be listed by libburn if there is a symbolic link /dev/sr*
pointing to it. On Debian 6, this link persists only if it is created
by an udev rule.

The virtual device /dev/vda is in group "disk". Usual for CD drives is
group "cdrom", to which i (or the Debian installer ?) have added my
normal user when i installed the guest system.
Like with the symbolic link, such a change persists on Debian 6 only as
udev rule.
