It's appears to just be what the drive returns for a stop command. I've got a similar Plextor 12X drive, and it does the same thing. I've got a Panasonic DVD-RAM drive that does something different: # cdcontrol play cdcontrol: no CD device name specified, defaulting to /dev/cd0c # cdcontrol status cdcontrol: no CD device name specified, defaulting to /dev/cd0c Audio status = 17, current track = 1, current position = 0:03.23 Media catalog is inactive Left volume = 255, right volume = 255 # cdcontrol stop cdcontrol: no CD device name specified, defaulting to /dev/cd0c # cdcontrol status cdcontrol: no CD device name specified, defaulting to /dev/cd0c Audio status = 19, current track = 1, current position = 0:15.25 Media catalog is inactive Left volume = 255, right volume = 255 # cdcontrol status cdcontrol: no CD device name specified, defaulting to /dev/cd0c Audio status = 21, current track = 1, current position = 0:15.25 Media catalog is inactive Left volume = 255, right volume = 255 Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much about it. > cd0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0 > cd0: Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device > cd0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15) > cd0: cd present [329478 x 2048 byte records] I would suggest using xmcd for a GUI cd player. It works very well with Plextor CDROM drives. (At least every one I've tried.)
