Read IContent access rights programmatically

Hello,

Has anyone a good code snippet on how to programmatically read the access rights set on an IContent object? I would use ACL if I was working with pages, but I need it for media and block content items.

Thanks,

ISecurable securable = content as ISecurable;
if (securable == null)
    return;
ISecurityDescriptor securityDescriptor = securable.GetSecurityDescriptor();

var rights = securityDescriptor.GetAccessLevel(user);

For the googlers and very curious listeners:
I ended up using

IContentSecurityDescriptorExtensions.ToRawACEArray(content)

instead, because I needed to do a role check in a filter. But I got on the right track with the provided answer.
