For one thing, your user-id, or a group you belong to needs to have read/wr=
ite
access to the relevant CD device. My solution is to create a group called
'cdrom', and add my user-id to that group. Both is accomplished with pw(8).=
I
have the following in my /etc/devfs.conf:
# Give members of group cdrom access to the CD/DVD-ROM and DVD+RW via t=
he
# SCSI interface
own xpt0 root:cdrom
perm xpt0 0660
own cd0 root:cdrom
perm cd0 0660
own cd1 root:cdrom
perm cd1 0660
link cd1 cdrom
link cd1 dvd
Since my user-id is a member of the cdrom group, I can use these devices
freely.=20
If you are using the standard 'atapicd' driver instead of the SCSI emulation
'cd' driver your CD device might be acdX instead of cdX. I prefer to use the
SCSI emulation, since cdrecord (which is required by k3b, I think) likes
talking to SCSI devices, but not ATA. I've built a custom kernel that only =
has
the cd device and not atapicd, so there cannot be a conflict between the
two. I don't know what happens on a GENERIC kernel that has both
devices. Maybe there is a tunable that determines which device driver gets
access?
To produce sound you need to to load the appropriate sound driver. See
sound(4). Additionally, I like to start a sound server like esd (audio/esou=
nd
port). Audacious can use that for output.
