CD audio doesn't go through the WAV (/dev/dsp) device. It goes
straight through your sound card's mixer and out to the speakers.

Try 'fuser /dev/audio' to see who's using the device--it's probably
that au daemon.

Yup this could be it. Your WAV audio could also be mutted out in the
mixer (this is unlikely I think). bplay never worked right for me
anyway. wavplay I like alot. What do you get from 'cat /dev/sndstat')
ASIDE: How come we have /dev/sndstat rather than something under
/proc?
