Juergen, This is great! If you can figure out how to get this right, I would really appreciate it. If you have a tape drive handy, definitely test with that. My first attempts here actually broke reading from tape drives, which is why the current code is so conservative. Minor style comments:
else if (S_ISCHR(st.st_mode) && !ioctl(fd, DIOCGMEDIASIZE, &mediasize) && mediasize) {
Please be explicit: S_ISCHR() && ioctl() == 0 && mediasize > 0
archive_read_extract_set_skip_file(a, st.st_dev, st.st_ino);
extract_skip_file isn't needed here; we don't read the contents of device nodes. Let me know as soon as you have something you're confident of.
