Andy, Why do you have to NOT use ide-scsi when playing audio CDs? I have not had a problem with that. Just about yesterday I played/grabbed/encoded to oggvorbis 6 of my CDs all done with ide-scsi and I haven't had to do anything funky to get it working except that I made sure ide-cd would not get loaded ever (modutils). I'm using kernel 2.4, and I am not aware of any differences between it and 2.2 in this regard. Disclamer: I may be totally wrong. This works for me and you are allowed to disregard this info, delete this message and bash me <silently>.
