Hello folks! Mplayer has an option to tell the CDROM-drive how fast to spin. On my old SuSE system it worked. On my new debian system it doesn't work anymore. It can't really be the kernel, for I compiled my own kernels on the old system and I do so on the new one. When I started debian I had the same kernel as on my SuSE system. The commandline for mplayer is: mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/hdd -cdda speed=4 cdda://* Can anyone help me here. I like to have it slowed down, so the CDROM drive is quiet while playing music. Now I can hear it very prominently.
