I found the fc19 source files and built them on fc21
without a hitch, and installed them:

$ rpm -qa | egrep 'libmirage|cdemu-daemon|vhba|cdemu'
cdemu-client-2.1.0-3.1.fc21.noarch
libmirage-2.1.0-3.1.fc21.x86_64
vhba-20130607-1.1.fc21.x86_64
libmirage-devel-2.1.0-3.1.fc21.x86_64
cdemu-daemon-2.1.0-1.1.fc21.x86_64

After installation, I rebooted.

When I run the daemon, it bombs as follows:

# cdemu-daemon -b system -a alsa -n 2
Starting CDEmu daemon with following parameters:
  - num devices: 2
  - ctl device: /dev/vhba_ctl
  - audio driver: alsa
  - bus type: system

WARNING: using CDEmu on system bus is deprecated and might lead to 
security issues on multi-user systems! Consult the README file for more 
details.

cdemu0: Kernel I/O: failed to open control device /dev/vhba_ctl: No such 
file or directory!
cdemu: Daemon: failed to start device #0!
cdemu: Daemon: failed to create device!
Daemon initialization and start failed!

And of course, cdemu client dies:

# cdemu -b system add-device
ERROR: Failed to connect to CDEmu daemon: 
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name 
net.sf.cdemu.CDEmuDaemon was not provided by any .service files
ERROR: Failed to connect to daemon (bus: 'system')!

So, what's missing here?
