[gentoo-user] Audio CD support

[gentoo-user] Audio CD support

[sdoma]

Hi,

Does somebody know how I can get XMMS to play audio CSs? "Play audio CD"
simply cleans the playlist and doesn't do anything else.

In Preferences->Audio CD the Audio CD directory is set to /mnt/cdrom (We
don't mount audio CDs - do we?) My cdrom drive is on /dev/hdc but I
can't browse to this node. Should I set it by editing ~/.xmms/config?

Is there a USE flag I'll have to set - I didn't find anything apropriate
in use.desc.

Thanks for any help
Frank

You won't need to mount the cd, but make sure the user who plays the cd
is in the cdrom group.

If this simple suggestion does not help, try to start xmms in a terminal
and look what it has to say. Post the output here if you can't find the
problem.

Hey Frank.

Make sure you have:

*  media-plugins/xmms-cdaudio
      Latest version available: 1.2.10-r1
      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Size of files: 2,916 kB
      Homepage:      http://www.xmms.org
      Description:   Xmms Plugin: xmms-cdaudio
      License:       GPL-2

I know this used to mess me up when I was still using XMMS.

Make sure you log out/log back in after adding yourself to any group.

As long as you do not move you can still choose any direction.

This was not sufficient. I had to change the permissions of /mnt/cdrom
(belonged to root:root - changet this to root:cdrom; was accessible with
drwx------ - changed to drwxrwx---)
Now I get a playlist but I have no sound. XMMS plays the tracks but
there isn't anything to hear.
I've unmuted even AUX (means everything) in alsamixer ... XMMS plays in
stealth mode.

:((((

This is ok, so enemy can't hear you. :-)

Nevertheless, if you want to hear your CD playing try to to set
"Digital audio extraction" in "CD Audio Player" plugin's
options.

Probably you do not have connected CD-ROM and sound card with audio
cable.
