I've been experimenting with multimedia, but have run into a problem with accessing an audio CD in some applications, but not others.
There is no problem with accessing the CD with k3b and it copies the tracks to the hard disk just fine. The system can also play audio CDs with vlc (specifically qvlc). Using xfce, I cannot get audacious, mplayer, or amarok to access an audio CD, although all three can play a track from the hard disk without problem. I thought that I might have had a D-Bus problem, but the D-Bus session appears to be set correctly in the environment. At first I did not have udisks but I did install udisks-1.0.4 and rebuilt audacious and amarok and still cannot use them to play an audio CD. In amarok, I checked that Settings > Configure Amarok > Playback > Configure Phonon is configured to prefer vlc. When I eject the CD, and re-insert, Amarok recognizes that the CD has been inserted, but says 0 tracks. A couple of things that I have *not* done is build gobject-introspection or all the gstreamer plugins (I've just got the base plugins installed). The version of gstreamer is 0.10.36. I didn't think that gstreamer was really needed if I was using vlc. I can certainly go back and build those, but wanted to see if anyone had some insight into this issue. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
