You mean calling something to start the read and then getting notified once it's done? There isn't a good cross-platform way to do that in C/C++ as far as I know. Besides, being able to do decryption and decompression on the DVD thread instead of the CPU thread is a nice bonus, and that's actually how the Wii handles decryption if you consider Starlet to be the equivalent of the DVD thread.
