Guy,

thanks for the pointers, but the configuration of the plugin is not 
really the problem. it is properly configured, but it still does not 
access the CD. i wondered if it is a linkage problem, so i tried looking 
for libcdaudio.so*, and found it in the following places:

./usr/lib/libcdaudio.so.1.0.0                [actual library]
./usr/lib/libcdaudio.so.1                      [ -> libcdaudio.so.1.0.0]
./usr/lib/xmms/Input/libcdaudio.so    [no link here]

when i tried making an ln -s from the ./usr/lib/xmms/Input/libcdaudio.so 
to ./usr/lib/libcdaudio.so.1 or even directly to libcdaudio.so.1.0.0, 
the plugin no longer appeared in the list when i opened the XMMS player. 
but all the links in the /usr/lib directory point to libcdaudio.so.1.0.0 
as being the actual library.

should ./usr/lib/xmms/Input/libcdaudio.so point to one of these other 
libraries, or am i not looking at this problem right?

best,
Derek
