The most programs are just sending commands like (play track nr. xth) to your cdrom. There is no read for reading out the data and sending it the soundcard. The cable is like a bypass.
It works, unless you do not need to grap something, or you have no cable connected. There shouldnt occur more problems if a program reads the audio-data into the memory first and play it afterwards on the audiocard. It is like playing a wavefile from your harddislk (someone mentioned xmms-cdread here). Hope you'll find what you need. ciao Walde -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
