this should be a no-brainer for somebody here!
how can i get the libcdaudio plugin for XMMS to load an audio CD? when i
go to directory /cdrom in the player's file browser, i see subdirectory
cdrom0, but i can't get it to open the audio CD to play. a program like
workman recognizes the CD fine. only problem there is that i scrapped
the OSS drivers for the Alsa ones, so i get no sound! has anybody else
had this problem?

Have you configure the plugin in xmms? Left-click on the play buttons, then "Options
/ Preferences / Audio E/S /" (*)
You should see libaudiocd.so and it should be activated. (* I have a french xmms, so the
labels should vary a bit).
Then you click on the "configure" button and you complete the fields (example:
/dev/cdrom and /mnt/cdrom, according to your /etc/fstab).

It should work.
I have the alsa driver, but xmms use the oss output, because alsa simulate oss.
Hope it helped a bit.

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

well I far from being the best to answer your question, but I think that the lib you need
is the original one in the xmms directory.
"/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libcdaudio.so" shouldn't be linked to
"/usr/lib/libcdaudio.so" because nothing says it's the right one for xmms.
On my machine, "locate libcdaudio" gives:
[dany@localhost dany]>>-->locate libcdaudio
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libcdaudio.la
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libcdaudio.so
[dany@localhost dany]>>-->
So the ones needed are the ones there.
On my machine "rpm -qa xmms" answers:
xmms-1.2.7-13.p
Have you tried grip to play your cds? It should work well, and if it does, you'll be
sure it's not a hardware problem.
alsaplayer O.99.74 too will play your audio cds digitally, allowing visual effects on
music (although you can find a similar plugin for xmms).

ahah! ;)
Can you give details about it? I had once this sorts of problems I resolved by
re-installing rpms. Understanding the reason why/where can spare me some times next.
cheers.

effects on music (although you can find a similar plugin for xmms).
xmms can do visual effects on any music source, as far as I can tell. One
person I knew (an old-school raver) wanted to stick with Window Media Player
because he'd discovered the visuals and thought they were unique to the
program. Aciiiieeeed!

Yes, you are right... if xmms has the driver for the music source (cd, ogg, mod, mp3).
In the case of audio cds, xmms can "drive" the cd player. This one gives the
sound directly to the soundcard. Xmms doesn't "see" any audio data. It just
sends "play", "next", "pause' etc to the cd player and
sometimes internet servers are knocked to have the playlist. The cd is played in an analog
way.
Where you are right is if xmms play the cd digitally, meaning that the data on the audio
cd is read, interpreted as audio data, and transformed with some effects and then pushed
to the soundcard.
In the first case there is no equalization possible in xmms, nor any visual effects, nor
additional cpu power used.
In the second case, even with no equalization and no visual effects (which are now
available) there will be some cpu % in use for data decoding.
That's the way I believe it works, but maybe I'm just talking about things I
don't really understand.
cheers.
