AIL_redbook_open_drive

The function AIL_redbook_open_drive opens a Red Book CD-audio device from a drive letter.

HREDBOOK AIL_redbook_open_drive(
  char drive
);

A handle to the Red Book device, or NULL if the device couldn't be opened.

This function just opens a channel to the device - it doesn't check to see if an audio CD is inserted. Use AIL_redbook_status to check for audio CDs.

Under DOS and MacOS 9, this function must not be invoked from an interrupt-based callback function.

This function is not available under MacOS.
