Description

Support for optical discs has been completely broken ever since ebab42c, even though it used to work perfectly.
Now with the rececent changes to the maintainers, is there a chance that mpv won't get gimped any further and gain back support for BD/DVD/CDDA?

Research direction

Start by reviewing commit ebab42c and the surrounding history to identify where BD, DVD, and CDDA support was removed or broken. Trace the relevant optical-disc entry points and verify playback behavior for each format; done means mpv can again open and play the supported optical disc types.
