Thanks for the persistence ! After I replied to your 1st e-mail, I realized that I was using OSS, driver sb. I then installed alsa-modules for my kernel (2.4.27.2-686) and driver snd-sb8 loaded Ok. Now I can still play audio CDs with kscd, but kaffeine/xine spit the message: Audio output unavailable. Device is busy I can still play internet audio streams with kaffeine/xine but not audio CDs. Killed kscd, but kaffeine/xine spits the same message when I try to play audio CDs. I'm not quite sure which device is busy. I must be missing something about alsa setup. I just installed the alsa packages and loaded the driver manually with: modprobe snd-sb8 port=0x220 irq=5 dma8=1 Any hints ? > Does kaffeine have some kind of audio output plugin?

Couldn't get to this stage because now it won't start playing. > Sorry, I didn't realize that an app actually worked OK. That makes it > much harder.
