no cd-sound but es1370 works

[Christian Mascher <christian.mascher@gmx.de>]

Hi all,

I'm Debian Newbie (two weeks). This is my first message posted with
mutt, hoping I got exim and fetchmail etc. working yesterday (with
smarthost ISP). 

As to the subject question: module es1370 is started at bootup and finds
the sound card (actually creative sound-blaster audiopci 64v). I can hear
some sounds in kde or gnome or even some weird noise ;-) when doing 
# cat /bin/ls > /dev/dsp
as someone suggested shortly, although the sound is always in a very low
volume. esd is running. 

But I want to play an audio cd. Tried this first with gnome
cd-applet, but it doesn't do anything, not even eject etc. Never found a
KDE-CD-player (wasn't there one supplied a few years ago?). Then I
installed cdcd and started it with
# cdcd -d /dev/hdd (which is my CD-ROM-drive)
It does everything expected, ejects, shows me the tracks, even
starts playing (according to led) -- but I can't hear anything. 

I think the problem is not the drive and not the cd (can listen to it
under win98) but somewhere in the sound-system.

I like working in console, so it would be cool to get this working.
Where could I look next?
