I am using Woody 3.0 and XMMS 1.2.7 and until recently had both a SCSI CD Burner and an IDE CDROM that I used for normally reading data and playing CD's, using XMMS. My IDE CDROM recently died, so I thought I would just change my fstab to point to the SCSI burner and use that for the CD's I wanted to play. While XMMS plays streams OK, such as Shoutcast, it does not see the CD player. Just to add to the confusion, I tried to play a CD using Gnome's gtcd player. It sees the CD I want to listen to, and says it is playing it, but no sound. I made sure that the CD burner had group CDROM and I am listed as belonging to that group.
I have not installed Gnome or KDE, as I am using WindowMaker and like it a lot. As long as I am talking about problems with the CD Burner, I should mention that I have not gotten gcombust to work either. It tells me that I am not using cdrecord as root, which is true, I am trying to burn a CD as a user. I should mention that I can read data from the SCSI burner without any problem, so I believe the fstab is OK. One last piece of information for this mix is that when I try to use RealPlayer, which also worked just fine (RealPlayer8) until this recent development, I get the error message "Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it." This even though there is no audio device being used that I am aware of. Any sound gurus that can point me in a useful troubleshooting direction? Thanks in advance for any advice or help. I have read all the README's and FM's I could find. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Lonnie Sutton - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Bainbridge Island, WA 98110 ---------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
