Paul,
   OK, this is interesting information.

   Please correct me if I'm wrong but this sort of thing happens with
ALL CD's you try to play?

   If it's just this one CD then I'd suspect damage or something in
the way it's written. Some CDs have copy protection build in -
intentionally pitted surfaces - and others have multimedia stuff that
I think is a different sort of file system or something.

   If it's all CDs then it might be improved with a CD drive firmware
update. I will warn you that with more recent versions of cdrecord and
cdd2wav a couple of my older, long time reliable CD drives have
problems writing CD at any speed. Joerg Schilling has pretty strong
views (understatement?) on drive manufacturers and may require you to
do a firmware update before you get much interest, but recently he did
work through problems on the gentoo-user list with someone and made
changes to his programs to accommodate so don't give up.

  So, what drive is this and does the problem happen with ALL audio CDs?

   Also, if you boot and never run KDE but maybe do these commands
from a login console (what I do on my MacMini which is a MythTV
backend server only) then do you see the same problems? If so it has
nothing to do with KDE.

Cheers,
Mark
