Hi,

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.

Hi,

Would vlc have worked if, while ATA_CAM was enabled,
there was a symlink so that /dev/acd0 ->  cd0 ?


Just to be sure, I just made the test, and the answer is: NO

I have already written that vlc writes a susccession of messages

[0x2caf2a3c] cdda access error: Could not set block size
[0x2caf2a3c] cdda access error: cannot read sector nnnnn

incrementing each time the sector number.

So I infer that vlc cannot set the correct (audio specific) sector size for the
cam device.

Thanks for your attention.

P.S. As I can see reading GENERIC, ATA_CAM will be the default for 9.X so there
is a risk of complaints from FreeBSD workstation users (who cares ?) after the
release..
