When upgrading a system to 8.2-STABLE, I switched my kernel from atapicam to
ATA_CAM, and found that vlc could not play audio CDs anymore. Reverting to
atapicam (and reverting from cdN to acdN of course), vlc was OK again.
It seems that I am not the only one having this kind of problem, as I found (for
example) this message on questions@ (for releng9):
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2011-October/234737.html
Is this a known problem ? Is somebody working on it ?
Have you tried pointing VLC at /dev/cd0 when using ATA_CAM?
Of course yes ! (I even configured WITH_CDROM_DEVICE=/dev/cd1 when building VLC)
It may be trying old style ATA ioctls based on the device name.
VLC recognize the tracks and jump quickly from one to the following, without
playing it, and with a flow of messages:
[0x2caf2a3c] cdda access error: Could not set block size
[0x2caf2a3c] cdda access error: cannot read sector nnnnn
where the sector number is incremented, and then emit (2 times if I remenber):
[0x2af28bc] es demux error: cannot peek
Sorry for having ommited these messages in the previous mail.
I found a PR 161760 about cdparanoia needing to be patched for 9.0 with CAM, a
proposal by avg@ related to libxine:

These may not be the same problem, but I think they are related (a not so well
documented change in the kerm interface).
