I think the issue here is that XMMS, if it's doing the "digital extraction" method as Pete recently described, is taking the digital CD data and pumping it to the sound card. In that case, it's probably being output as "PCM" sound. KsCD is simply sending a command to your CD player: "Play", and the audio is passed between the CD drive and your sound card (inside the PC via a little cable). It's being used as an input (like a Mic or Line-In would be). In that case, it's probably wise to check both the "Master" output volume, AND the "CD" input volume, In KMix in KDE, it's literally "CD" in the "Input" tab. I'd be curious to see how CPU usage is affected when one uses XMMS 'digital' vs. XMMS 'analog' or a tool like "cdplay" or KsCD... Anyone feel like running "top" and listening to some tunes? :) -- -bill!
