I found "cdcontrol" on my own last night, and gave it a try.
It seemed to be reasonably happy -- it could recognize the
tracks on CDs, knew how long each one was, and could be told
to play a particular track. There was only one little problem:
it never produced any *sound* (aside, that is, from the purely
machanical whirring of the active CD drive... <foolish grin> )

Bleah. I logged in as root, and gave this a try, but had no success.
I checked the "/modules" directory, and found nothing named "snd_pcm".
I looked in "/dev" and found neither "opl" nor "pcm".
I also looked in "/usr/src/sys/dev", and couldn't find "opl" or "pcm"
there, either. I did, however, find something named "sound", but didn't
feel up to messing with it without further advice.
