When I quickly hooked up the cdrom reading in windows because I realized that was possible that you could actually just use the drive letter handle to read the contents of a regular data disc without a special driver, I just made the implementation as simple as possible.

However it's totally synchronous; the emulator stops while I/O ops are in progress and for physical CD seeking that's a nontrivial amount of time.

When I encountered Lauri Pesonen's port code I was reminded that it did the same thing, but it actually implements async support. (I don't know how well, but I can see it at least uses the function parameters for it.)

Look into this.

While I'm at it, what is the situation in linux?

Maybe look at what it does for hardfile I/O for reference
