If you are able to interpret the CD's filesystem on your own, would it
work to read the CD's sectors from its /dev file?
If you issue the following command before inserting the CD:
$ ls /dev/disk*
... then insert the CD and do the ls again, the CD's device node will
be the most-recently added /dev/disk file.
You'll just need to read in units of 2048 bytes, with the start of
each read aligned at multiples of 2048.
