OK, we are now getting somewhere, I did hear sound out of that, now
that is interesting, but how does this work -- does it not copy the
file or is it playing from the drive? I have cdcd and it thinks its
playing, bu I hear nothing. Also, I can't get mplayer to do anyting,
it thinks the url is wrong or something, so this is more complicated.
Thanks much.
