Hmm, that's odd. (Those messages would be produced by the 'soundcore' module loading.)

Sure. <shrug> On PCs, the audio output from the CD-ROM gets tied directly into the sound card, goes through the sound card's mixer, and gets fed to the audio output. This is all in hardware; the normal software sound card driver is completely irrelevant for playing CDs. (For that matter, it's entirely possible that your CD-ROM drive has a headphone jack on the front; you could disconnect the CD-ROM from your sound card and still have audio CD functionality work normally.)

Try, for example, finding a .au file, and catting it to /dev/audio. Do you get output then? -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
