Not sure who is maintaining cdrtools for gentoo, but any chance of
getting alpha44 into the gentoo repository?
One thing I did discover about my original problem where cdcd would
not work is that it is using libcdaudio which uses some ioctl to play cd
frames which I am not sure what it is doing, but does not appear to be
copying to /dev/dsp -- can anyone tell me about this ioctl and how it
works? The actual line of code that I see is: if(ioctl(cd_desc,
CDAUDIO_PLAY_MSF, &cdmsf) < 0) .
