I did that, and it leads to the same result (music not playing). The terminal output of kscd is now:

I also did that before starting kscd for the output above. I have noticed that I have a lot of CD-ROM drives in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules due to various hardware being connected to my computer over time (such as UMTS modems which bring their driver by emulating a CD-ROM drive). The first one is /dev/cdrom, the second one cdrom1 and so on. Currently, the symlink which gets created is /dev/cdrom5. I am not sure whether kscd or some other component of the kde multimedia stack is supposed to look for /dev/cdrom* instead of /dev/cdrom or what is the best way of figuring out where to look. After googling a bit, I stumbled upon this bug report at RedHat, which concludes that 70-persistent-cd.rules should just be deleted by the sysadmin: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=570561 Tackling this issue from a different angle: What happens when I have two optical drives? How will kscd chose which one it uses? Will it always use /dev/cdrom? -- Best regards, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
