[linux-audio-user] alsa / xmms / delta card

[John Bleichert]

Hello All

I've configured software apps (e.g. xmms and games like Kohan and Myth II) 
to play through the PCM Out channels on my Delta card, but I can't figure 
out how to get an audio CD to play out through the PCM Outs. I use xmms as 
my CD player and I think it's configured correctly (it always worked fine 
with my sblive).

If xmms plays mp3 and wav files to PCM Out, how come it doesn't play CD 
audio to the same output stream? There is no CD audio header on the delta 
card - how do people using these cards listen to audio CDs? How do they 
get the audio to play via the IDE cables and not the old reliable direct 
connection from CDROM to sound card? FWIW I have the output plugin in xmms 
set to the OSS driver, which snd-pcm-oss seems to pick up just fine.

Are there any ALSA cd players that can handle this?

Suggestions welcome - JB
