Re: [gentoo-user] App/plugin to play CD?
Daniel da Veiga [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: You don't need the audio-cable to hear music from a cd - just the right application ;) Oh yeah, you really don`t need the cable, it just makes things easier, because it will work with all applications, won`t send data using the system bus neither process it using the CPU, the CD drive will do all the work and send output directly to the soundcard, the volume manager of the soundcard with the CD audio label will work and some other benefits. But that`s just me. I want my hardware to do the stuff it should. With a cable, you will (at least with some/most sound cards) have a digital-analog conversion in the drive, an analog-digital conversion in the sound card, and another digital-analog conversion on output from the sound card. With digital extraction you will just have the last digital-analog conversion. Guess what sounds best.
