Hi, I've put some MP3s on a CD & have been using x11amp to play them. When playing them, x11amp reads them in a way which causes the CD-ROM drive to power up and down once every 3 seconds (approx). Although I'm sure the CD-ROM drive can handle this kind of random access, I would rather increase the read cache somehow: it would reduce wear&tear and reduce the frequency of that annoying speed-up, slow-down whine. Is there a way to tweak Linux's disk cacheing to reduce the problem described?
