Well, using the Samsung "Optical SmartHub" was embarrassingly simple on
the linux server side.
As usual with a CD player you need SCSI support in the kernel, but you
also have to add support for iSCSI over TCP. The module is named
iscsi_tcp.
You then need the Open-iSCSI initiator program to connect to targets.
Code:
--------------------
root@godfrey:/home/godfrey# lsmod | grep iscsi
iscsi_tcp 5108 2
libiscsi_tcp 7504 1 iscsi_tcp
libiscsi 22424 2 libiscsi_tcp,iscsi_tcp
scsi_transport_iscsi 33244 3 iscsi_tcp,libiscsi
scsi_mod 58504 8
sg,scsi_transport_iscsi,usb_storage,libata,sd_mod,sr_mod,iscsi_tcp,libiscsi
root@godfrey:/home/godfrey# dpkg -s open-iscsi
Package: open-iscsi
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: net
Installed-Size: 1763
Maintainer: Debian iSCSI Maintainers
<pkg-iscsi-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Version: 2.0.873+git0.3b4b4500-8
...
--------------------
Next, make sure to set "node.startup = automatic" in file
/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf before discovering the Samsung thinggie.
(iscsiadm generates a config file for the target, if you don't have
startup=automatic you'll need to login manually before the device shows
on the server and begins usable from CD Player plugin.)
Code:
--------------------
root@godfrey:/home/godfrey# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p
172.17.255.80
172.17.255.80:3260,1 iqn.2011-12.com.tsstk:storage.odd.sys

Bam! /dev/sr0, there you go. CD Player plugin is very happy with it.
Now, perhaps a word on the Samsung SE-208BW. This thing is one fierce
bag of hurt. The device in itself is sturdy, it has ethernet, wifi, USB
storage and USB-OTG (for smart TVs it seems.) But it has been horribly
crippled by incompetent marketing and poor software/documentation
quality.
Out of the box the thing intends to replace your router... But if you
care to tinker with it, you can make it work within your wired LAN
(doesn't work as a simple wifi client) and get access to DVDs on a
tablet, and to CDs on your SBs.
It now sells for 1/3 of its launch price, and I can see why :)
