I should have been quantitative here. Ripping seemed slower than
under OSX, but I do have (like you) quasi realtime ripping under
linux.

I was not in X! So the permission problem is non existent. Sorry for
the false alarm. I had no idea about this permission business
(although it seems reasonable when you think about it). Thanks for
the tip.

I am not running devfsd. Weird thing is I cannot launch it either:
Running /etc/rc.d/init.d/devfsd start does not return an error, but
does not print [ok] either. Checking devfs status says it is stopped
(just after starting it). The daemon does not appear in the ps list.
Looking at the /etc/rc.d/init.d/devfsd script, this apears to be due
to the lack of /dev/.devfsd special character.
Thanks for your feedback,
Cheers, JF.
