Unfortunately, they are tied to these two icons.
An example: /dev/dvd > sr0 is my DVD hardware device, /dev/cdrom > sr1 is my CD-RW hardware device. Icon #1 points to /dev/cdrom > sr1. The device files are properly symlinked and fstab is correct. -- If I put in an audioCD in my CD-RW, KsCD (a cd player) is started and plays my audioCD. If I change Icon #1 to point to /dev/dvd > sr0, and put an audioCD in my DVD hardware device,KsCD is started but it doesn't see my audioCD. If I put it in my CD-RW hardware device (even though Icon #1 points to /dev/dvd > sr0) and press Icon #1, KsCD is started and plays my audioCD. The same thing happens with the other icon, just with another application.
How many cd/dvd related icons do you have? Do you have dvd, cdrom, and cdrecorder? Make them point to the appropriate device and leave them be. Also leave your links alone. I think the confusion is that kscd defaults to /dev/cdrom which is your burner. It doesn't matter if you have the icon point to /dev/dvd or /dev/zip the program wants to look at /dev/cdrom(unless changed). If you open kscd and go to Config(the tools) and change it to /dev/dvd it should then play the cd in your dvd. Try to put one audio cd in each drive, open kscd. Play the one in the cdrw(stop it and) then Switch between the two audio cds(or devices) in the config window. /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom. As long as the audio cable is connected to both devices and the line in mixer / volume control is set properly you should be able to play audio cd's in both drives. When you want to play a cd I'd open the app using the menu rather than the icon, I see how this could have gotten confusing. I'm assuming SuSE detects an audio cd, kscd must be the default audio player it opens checks it's config info and then looks for the cd in /dev/cdrom... just guessing though. Can you mount a data cd from the command line? Try ... mount /dev/dvd mount /dev/cdrom ls -l /media/cdrom or cdrecorder depending on your fstab ls -l /media/dvd You also should be able to right click on the cd icon > choose mount, and then try the ls -l /media/cdrecorder or cdrom. Also try this by right clicking the dvd icon.
