As far as I know, that requires the multimedia kioslaves to work. I wonder if it's possible to have that use a different CDDA-tool? > Which, from memory, is different that Win98.

Or is it just a collection of garbage? As far as I know, CD-Paranoia access the cd-drive a bit more directly then other tools. Eg. it approaches it like a CD-ROM, rather then CD-Audio. The error messages appear as soon as you put the CD into the drive? Am wondering if some auto-mounting tool is trying to access it and is causing problems here. Do you also get those messages when you disable all KDE/Gnome/X/... and related stuff? Personally, I tend to use cdparanoia and other tools to generate OGG or MP3 files and store them on a fileserver and play them from there. -- Joost
