More than 16 optical drives?

makemkvcon seems to have an internal limit of 16 optical drives. My primary system has 17... the host's internal DVD drive, plus a 12-drive bluray tower (converted duplicator), plus a 4-drive bluray exchanger I'm trying to bring online. Ubuntu happily shows /dev/sr[0..16], but makemkvcon seems to limit the disc index to 0..15.
I realize having 17+ optical drives is pretty unusual, but I was wondering if these is some kind of inherent limit in the code design (like a uint16_t bit field or something), or if it is just a define somewhere that I might be able to bump up.
For now, I've disconnected the internal drive, to keep the total number at 16, but I'd prefer not to do that.
