Doesn't make a difference.

The output file does not mention the "Invalid argument" message
or, as far as I can understand, any other fatal stuff.

Xine:
``xine cdda://dev/acd0/n'' works fine despite of six lines
       ``Cannot find address for OpenGl extension function ...
       which should be available according to extension specs.''.
But the GUI does not work properly. For example, the CD button generates
``CDIOCREADAUDIO: Invalid argument'' messages.

No wonder that gxine and kaffeine which use the xine engine don't work either.

Finally, the only (audioCD) command which does work on this laptop is
``vlc cdda:///dev/[EMAIL PROTECTED]''.
Disappointing, but better than nothing.

Thank you again for your comments.
Harald
