[Paranoia] sg_write kernel logging flood

[Tobias Jakobi]

Hi there paranoia devs,

I was hoping to find here an answer to this problem:
I just updated my system to linux kernel 2.6.21 and also switched to the
new ATA layer. Now mplayer (which internally seems to use cdparanoia)
also needs the kernel sg module to get access to the optical drives (I
use mplayer for CDDA playback). I modprobed sg and could playback the
CDDAs, but as long as data is extracted from the drive the kernel log is
filled with:

sg_write: data in/out 16464/16464 bytes for SCSI command 0xbe--guessing
data in;
   program mplayer not setting count and/or reply_len properly

I found that this problem is not new:

Sadly it still exists, and even when usiny cdparanoia (standalone) it
fills the kernel log. Now I'm searching for a (non-hacky) patch to get
this working correctly. I could comment out the logging command from
sg.c, but that would be more a hack. Any idea how to fix this?
