For example, I think the > Gnome application is "brasero". i think cdcontrol(1) should be adjusted, so that it supports digital audio CD playback. actually analog audio hasn't really been supported by mainboard manufacturers for > 10 years. i have a board which comes with an audio connector, but attaching a cable to it, which is attached to a dvd drive doesn't work, for whatever reasons. i also believe newer dvd and br sata devices don't even come with an analog connector nowadays. another application which supports digitally playing audio cds is mplayer(1) via 'mplayer cdda:://' or 'mplayer cddb://'. ano ther thought might be to implement an audio cd filesystem, so one could do 'mount -o audiocdfs /dev/cd0 /media/cd' and then all tracks appear as RAW pcm audio files. maybe fuse comes with something like this? cheers. alex
