Yes, I have googled for much of today.  There are a lot of responses,
but I tried to stick to one where it was related to gentoo.  Like I
said, there is a symlink that links cdrom to sr0.  One of the things I
found when I googled said that they made a symlink to sr0 from cdrom.
That didn't make sense to me so. I didn't try it.

Another post suggested that there was a problem with phonon.  Hence, I
emerge an upgrade (albeit unstable) to phonon-gstreamer.  In honesty,
one thing I didn't try was writing a udev rule that was suggested.
Call me stubborn, but I've never had to write a rule to get an audio
CD to play before so, I will only do that as a last resort.

I've tried to stay away from posts that were back in 2003 and 2004
'cause they may not be relevant now.

The line in my fstab is:

/dev/cdrom    /mnt/cdrom    auto    noauto,user    0 0

Maybe I should have said /dev/sr0?

I may have to keep plugging, but thought I would post in case anyone
else has encountered this problem.

Colleen
