OT: Audio CD problems

Hi,

I am having problems accessing Audio CDs on my Gentoo system. Data CDs
work properly, but I can't play audio CDs in xmms, if i specify
/dev/cdrom (which exists) as a source, nothing happens. Mplayer is
also not succesful:

$ mplayer /dev/cdrom

==========

And when i try to run KAudioCreator to rip the CD, it reads the number
and lengths of tracks, correctly performs the cddb lookup, but when I
click "Rip tracks" the following error occurs for each track:

Could not start process Unable to create io-slave.
klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'audiocd'.

Of course playing mp3s and oggs from hard dis works ok. I use ALSA and
arts over it. Has anyone experienced similar problems? Any advice is
appreciated.

TIA

Peter

Are you running Alsa? If so, please try this with alsaplayer as a test.

Thanks.

Yes, i'm using alsa form kernel (2.6.8-r7), but i've always been
forced to use arts over it for mixing, because with alsa only, my
system couldn't play more sound sources simultaneously. By alsaplayer
you mean aplay? Or is there some other player? Because aplay doesn't
work for me, even for mp3s.

thanks

Peter
