Its probably worth answering this as an article rather than by mail
PhotoCD is an unpublished secret format protected in the US by countless
software patents and squads of lawyers. There is nothing actually special
about reading photo-cd disks so long as you have a multi-session cd-rom.
Unfortunately to produce photo-cd software you have to license it all and
sign an NDA.
Now as it happens if you look on alt.sources archives you'll find a
preproduction photo-cd reader for various systems, which should port
to Linux.
