As of the last update or two ago (etch), XMMS no longer plays CDs. XMMS sends tons of messages like the following to the syslog if I click on the ^ button, enter /dev/cdrom, and click Play.
kernel: hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } kernel: hdc: command error: error=0x51 { IllegalLengthIndication LastFailedSense=0x05 } kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 0 kernel: printk: 26 messages suppressed. kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 0 I can use cdplay from the cdtool package to play the CDs. If I bring up Options > Preferences > Audio I/O Plugins, select CD Audio Player, and click on Configure, and then click on Check drive in the subsequent dialog, I get: Device /dev/cdrom OK. Disc has 11 tracks Total length: 44:19 Digital audio extraction test: OK Directory /cdrom/ OK. Should I be entering a new directory or file in the Play files dialog now? Something like /media/cdrom/something-or-other-which-doesn't-exist-at-the-moment? Any other ideas? Or is this a bug that needs to be reported? I didn't see anything like it listed already.
