	In my case, xmms (1.0.1 on FBSD 3.4 & XF86 3.3.6) will cause the
tty that X is on to go black, act "dead" (i.e. pressing Alt-F9 should
cause me to return to the X server but it only causes a beep), and makes X
take up all the spare CPU cycles.  After trying to several days, I'm
downgrading back to xmms 0.9.<something>.

	Do you have a Matsushita CD-ROM drive?  If you have a standerd IDE
CD-ROM drive (most folks do) then you're barking up the wrong tree.  For
reasons that I have yet to fathom, KDE's CD player assumes that everyone
in the world is using this non-standerd style of CD-ROM player.  I found a
post in the mailing list archives months ago that helped me with this
issue.  You need to configure kscd's settings to use /dev/racd0c if you
have a standerd IDE CD-ROM drive.  To do this, I ended up editing the
~/.kde/share/config/kscdrc file by hand.  Here's what mine looks like
right now:

# KDE Config File

senderAddress=someone@somewhere.org

	Use this as the file ~/.kde/share/config/kscdrc and you should be
able to get kscd to play well with others.  :)
