Have you plugged your cd-rom drive into your sound card?  Most CD
playing programs completely bypass your computer and just tell your
drive to blit bits down a digital interface onto your soundcard.  Also,
don't forget to pump up the CD channel using aumix or whatever.

Good.

Conflicts?  Do you mean that some bits are GNOME 1.4 based and some bits
are GNOME 2 based?  This is to be expected at the moment, because a) not
every package has been updated to the gnome 2 versions, and b) not every
piece of gnome 1.4 software even has a gnome2 version yet (and might not
ever, of course).

Erk, this is going to be painful.  If you decide to do this, then use
aptitude or apt or whatever (not dpkg) to remove libgnome{1,2} or something
similar; every gnome{1,2} app will depend on these and get removed along
with it.
