=46ollowing a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.2 STABLE without=20
doing all updates.

After following the Manual guide on setting up permanent=20
symbolic links as you suggest and having the correct link=20
to /dev/cdrom I still have problems trying to play cds.=20
They do play and I can hear the sound too,, but most of the=20
time there is an intermittent pause after the track has=20
been playing for several seconds and then a skip to the=20
next track. Sometimes it skips to the next track without=20
playing any of the current one.=20

I have been and still do play music cds under Linux systems=20
and never had any problems.

any ideas?
