of course, you are right, but the only  ones which are able to  play 
cdda  is alsaplayer (realy slow on my machine +  very poor interface)  
and xmms.
i just compiled aqualung, which looks very good and runs good too, but 
no able to play cdda.

does anybody knows about another player which is able to play cdda in 
jack modus?

cheers,
doc
