Re: horrible system performance using ide-scsi for cdrom on tibook

have been the problem all along - basically unless cdparanoia is throttled a little bit it just swamps the cpu with cdrom dma interrupts. setting the laptop to nice cdparanoia to 19 helps. then setting the umaskirq flag makes the machine usable during cd ripping. rob

is there, it's trivial. if not, you need software that can read the audio data off the disk and pump it into the sound system. for whatever reason, i could not convince cdparanoia, cdda2wav or xmms's audio CD reader to grab the audio off of the disk until i tricked them into thinking the cdrom was a scsi device. rob
