Comment(by Jonathan Martens <jonathan at snetram.nl>):

 Thanks for your comments, they are welcome since I am pretty new to the
 source of MythTV and appreciate some guidance.

 Replying to [comment:1 nigel]:
 > I think it would be better to patch the code in the Windows subclass of
 the media monitor that is incorrectly filling in the volumeID from
 GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPoint().
 OK I will see if I can provide a patch to change it there.

 Replying to [comment:1 nigel]:
 > Note that this code also does not yet actually monitor for media
 insertion, so my guess is that the current rubbish volume name is a
 manufacturer serial number from an empty drive at MediaMonitor startup?
 No, AFAICT it is not, it is the internal key that windows uses to access
 the CD player, but I will investigate some more.
