HI! My question is not related expressly to the KDE technology. I can listen audio CD-s under (SuSE) Linux only if the CD-ROM driver is connected with my soundcard by an (analogue) audio cable. Is it possible to listen audio CD-s without the connection just mentioned, only with the aid of IDE cable connection??? (This method was practicable under Window$ XP.) Best regards, Béla

The only explanation I can imagine is that the program under Windows reads the sound track while the program under Linux uses the drive as a CD reader (so that the sound has to come through the cable). I never bothered to check this given the *very high* price for a sound card cable :) So the answer would be: yes if you find a rpogeam that will interpret the sound data from the tracks on your CD - the bad point is that this probably chews up computing power.

Also, and I have not tried this because as Thierry suggested, an audio cable from the cdrom to the sound card hardly breaks the bank, but xmms might be able to do what you want. If you are using just one of the CD audio players, like KSCD, it needs the audio cable and assumes you are connected that way. XMMS uses several different sound output plugins, so may be able to send sound to the audio card without the cable, but again, as Thierry mentioned, at the expense of some computing power. I am sure Windows does it that way and of course, nobody has ever accused Windows of being efficient, have they? ;o) Lee -- --- KMail v1.5.4 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
Thanks!
The plug-in named "xmms-cdread-0.14a" has solved the problem. The source can be downloaded from: ftp://mud.stack.nl/pub/OuterSpace/willem/xmms-cdread-0.14a.tar.gz
