My main problem seems to be that (with one exception) xmms doesn't
even get the CD spinning. Here's what I've checked so far...
- alsamixer CD unmuted and volume set to 77
- I am a member of audio and cdrom groups
- the "cdplay" program sees the number of tracks and and their
lengths on the cdrom. "cdplay -c -v" goes through the motions of
playing the cdrom. The cdrom spins, and cdplay lists each track as
it's played... but there is no sound.
- /dev/cdrom is correctly symlinked to /dev/hda
- I've tried both the xmms-cdaudio and xmms-cdread plugins.
xmms-cdaudio has a "Check CD drive" option. When I click it, the
cdrom spins, and I get a list of tracks which matches the output I
get from "cdplay --listtracks".
But when I tell xmms to play AudioCD, it just sists there. The CD
does not spin at all.
