I've been so used to playing mp3 files that I'm lost with real live audio CDs (not a data CD with mp3 files). The XMMS docs aren't really helpful. Do I need an additional plug-in? mplayer is worse. "mplayer /dev/cdrom" tries to play a file by that name. I emerged cdplay and "cdplay -c -v" gets the CD spinning and the output indicates that it is playing, but I get no sound. I have unmuted the CD player and set its volume via alsactl. One additional complication is that there is no headphone jack near the CD tray, so I assume I have to go via the soundcard.
