------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-08-08 19:51 ------- Can supermount be made detect audio CDs, and generate special files generate special files (like in proc filesystem, too) that are exactly like TrackXX.cda ones as seen on MS Windows on audio CDs. On Windows they contain a description of audio track. All media players for Windows (Windows native, Winamp...) handle this format by playing those tracks with standard audio CD commands passed to teh drive. Linux players (XMMS, Kaboodle, Noatun) would need to be extended to handle this format of course. You cannot expect people to have to launch dedicated audio CD players like KsCD or GRIP to play audio CDs and be satisfied, people migrating from Windows expect to play audio CDs from any centralised media player app that can handle sound files, audio CDs, video and stuff... -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I've seen this issue in 9.1 kernel too. When an audio CD is in the drive, and I try to navigate there I get kernel errors. Typical scenario (imagine I'm a Linux newbie): 1) I want to play audio CD 2) I'm in KDE. I open the applitacion menu, the Multimedia->Sound. 3) Knowing only Windows (where media player plays both files and audio CDs nicely), I decide to launch either Kaboodle (Media Player) or Noatun (Multimedia Player). 4) I try to do File->Open, Go to CD-ROM. 5) The application hangs while supermount naively tries to mount the CD-ROM while in fact it's an audio CD.
