	Is it because this sort of thing:
    if( psz_cache )
    {
        uint8_t p_sector[DVDCSS_BLOCK_SIZE];
. ..
	i_ret = dvdcss->pf_read( dvdcss, p_sector, 1 );
    }
	Can leave p_sector not aligned suitably for DMA in gcc-4 ? (pf_read
winds up calling read on the DVD device with p_sector as the buffer).
