Re: Audio CD on Tibook
Hi there,
On 18 Oct, this message from Debian User Jean-Baptiste Note echoed through cyberspace:

Out of curiosity, can you send the model of the CDRom along?

I never got the cdread plugin to read audio CDs off my DVD drive in the
TiBook unless I use SCSI emulation for the DVD. To try that, recompile a
kernel with SCSI support, no low-level driver, support for SCSI CDRoms,
and SCSI emulation under IDE. Then add this to your kernel commandline:
hdc=scsi
That should make your drive appear as /dev/sr0. Change any /dev/cdrom
aliases you have, and try again.

Exactly what I got. You are in group cdrom, are you?
Note that plain xmms with /dev/dsp output has an endian issue; you only
get noise. Using the esd plugin helps (and you obviously need to sart
esd ;-).
Cheers
