Can't play audio CD's on G4 (woody)

[Clive Menzies <clive@clivemenzies.co.uk>]

Hi

I've been trying to get my head around sound.  I've recompiled the
kernel, 2.4.18 powerpc, making sure that the soundcore module is
included.  I've created a symlink cdrom > /dev/hdc in /dev.  I've made
myself a member of group audio.  I've chown'ed the cdrom in /dev to
group audio.  /dev/dsp is also in group audio.

Whenever, I load KDE 3.3.1 I get an error "device /dev/dsp doesn't
exist" (but it does).  When I try to play a CD using Xmms it can't seem to read
the Audio CD and suggests I make sure I have the requisite permissions
(which I have).

Any help would be appreciated

Regards

Clive
