soundcore will be dragged in by the actual sound driver. Is CONFIG_DMASOUND_PMAC enabled? > I've created a symlink cdrom > /dev/hdc in /dev. I've made > myself a member of group audio.

The device _node_ (i.e. the /dev/dsp file) certainly exists, but the error probably means that the sound driver (i.e. the dmasound_pmac module) isn't loaded. > When I try to play a CD using Xmms it can't seem to read > the Audio CD and suggests I make sure I have the requisite permissions > (which I have). Have you logged out and back in since you set the group ownership? Is /dev/hdc the correct device, or have you set it up for SCSI emulation? -- Earthling Michel D�nzer \ Debian (powerpc), XFree86 and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast \ http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
