I think you need this plugin: " Name: xmms-cdread Version: 0.14a-5mdk Architecture: i586 Size: 62 KB Medium: contrib Currently installed version: (none) Summary: Input plugin that reads audio data from CDs Description: This is an alternative to the xmms audio CD plugin with advanced features. Files: /usr/lib/xmms/Input/libcdread.so /usr/share/doc/xmms-cdread-0.14a /usr/share/doc/xmms-cdread-0.14a/AUTHORS /usr/share/doc/xmms-cdread-0.14a/ChangeLog /usr/share/doc/xmms-cdread-0.14a/INSTALL /usr/share/doc/xmms-cdread-0.14a/NEWS /usr/share/doc/xmms-cdread-0.14a/README /usr/share/doc/xmms-cdread-0.14a/TODO " Or/and this one: " Name: cdparanoia-plugin Version: 0.1-6mdk Architecture: i586 Size: 15 KB Medium: contrib Currently installed version: (none) Summary: Digital CD playback plugin for XMMS Description: This plugin reads CDDA sectors and passes them to XMMS directly. That way you don't need a cable from the CD-ROM to the sound card and you can use the usual effect and visualization plugins. Files: /usr/lib/xmms/Input/libcdparanoia.so /usr/share/doc/cdparanoia-plugin-0.1 /usr/share/doc/cdparanoia-plugin-0.1/README " - have you ever heard of 'cdparanoia' ? You didn't answer my question: "do you understand that CD-ROM can also "export" audio data in digital form ?" - if you don't understand, then you don't understand the root cause of your problem and the solutions offered. _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
