[vox-tech] Problem with xmms playing CDs

[R. Douglas Barbieri]

One thing to check is to make sure you have the xmms-cdread package
installed. Now, as far as I know, you shouldn't be able to mount an audio
cdrom, but if you are able to (perhaps some cool package is installed or a
kernel patch?), unmount the device. Go into XMMS, access the menu, select
"Play Location" and put in /dev/cdrom (or the drive name of your cdrom
device, e.g. /dev/hdc).
