No, it seems that there's a severe level of "brokenness" that has been introduced into the source tree with regards to CD devices. I've been exploring this issue on my own system the last couple of days, and am no closer to arriving at a solution than when I first started. None of the CD-related apps I have installed are working. cdcontrol will read an audio CD OK, it seems, but playback is useless, since, like most newer machines, I have no direct connection between the CD drive and the audio device. Apps such as kscd, xmcd, etc. report no disc or no device found. grip (using cdparanoia) will detect an audio disc and even fetch the correct cddb info, but ripping fails completely. xmms reports "no appropriate ioctl for device". This is progress? -- Conrad J. Sabatier conrads@cox.net
