Yup. This I know. > 2. In XMMS, do a CTRL-L (or use the menu to specify a "Location"), > and type "/cdrom" > and that's it. Do you mean /dev/cdrom, or the mount-point that you'd normally use for mounting a data CD? If I point it to /dev/cdrom, it figures out all of the track information, and the counter runs, as though it were playing the CD, but the transport doesn't seem to do anything with the CD, and there's nothing but a faint clicking for the first two seconds of any track. It's SCSI drive, and all of the relevant SCSI modules are loaded into the kernel, and I can mount and access data CDs till the cows come home. > What window manager are you using?

Other applications, like Gaim, want to use ESD, and can't seem to put anything out to the real world as audio information. It seems that ESD always worked in the past. Perhaps it's time to roll a 2.4.x kernel and just go the ALSA route? Does ALSA even support an ES1371 soundcard is another question, I suppose...
