I don't know. It thinks it is playing, but I'm not hearing
anything. gnome-cd yeilds audio, KsCD doesnt. Here is what mixer
reports:

I used kmid to up the "igain": no help. I havve tried /dev/acd0
and /dev/cdrom (they are links); no difference. Maybe this one
requires the SCSI work-aroumd. Whatever I do in the configuration,
lsof tells me that kscd is looking at the real /dev, /dev/acd0.
One thing that may be a clue is that the "Select audio backend"
string is greyed out.
