Thanks for the suggestion. Well, I did the "apt-get install cdtool"
and cdtool was installed. My goal here was modest. I just wanted
to be able to plug my headphones into to port on the faceplate of
the cd-rom drive and listen to my discs while learning linux. :)
It works, but not completely.
cdplay start does not work as expected. I can see the cd-rom being
accessed, but playing does not start.
cdplay info works and gives status
cdplay dir works and gives a listing of the tracks on the disc.
cdplay # does not play a track as expected from the man page.
So I know that the cd-rom drive is being accessed.
So far I'm only able to get discs to play is with the command
cdplay shuffle
which I need to run in the background to get my command prompt back.
The CDROM type can be found in my dmesg at
