Suppose I have a CDROM drive with a lousy D/A, and a sound card with a great D/A. How can I read the data from my favourite audio CD and send it to the soundcard? (Presumably all the standard software CD players like Xmcd rely on the D/A hardware inside the CDROM drive..) cat /dev/cdrom > file gives cat: /dev/cdrom: Input/output error
