I have an SBLive! Value installed (using the 2.2.18pre21 kernel driver). It seems as though the "CD" plug on the card is bad, since I've tried changing both the cable (3 different ones) and the CD-ROM drive, and still can't play CDs. So far I've been able to use grip to copy an audio CD into .wav files on a hard drive partition, but am not sure how to play the CD directly (maybe piping it to splay?). I'm new at the whole sound thing in GNU/Linux, so if there's a RTFM I should be looking at, please let me know!
