I got past the complaint about "Protocol not supported". I needed to install kdemultimedia3-CD.rpm.
However, now I am getting:
An error occurred while loading audiocd:/:
Access denied to /dev/sr0
I took your advice and unchecked "determine device automatically". I tried /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrecorder and /dev/sr0. None seem to work. (I always get the message above now.)
Recommendations?
Thanks in advance,

My problem isn't ejecting CDs. It is getting Konqueror's Audio CD Browser working. I do not have 9.1, but I would love to get this working as it is my understanding that one can rip straight from this browswer. My Audio CD Browser ALWAYS (from the time I log in) gives the error "Protocol not supported" "audiocd". Any help in fixing this would be appreciated.
I am sorry about the confusion I caused in talking about mounting CDs. However, I cannot even play a CD from any application whatsoever. This used to work before I installed KDE3.2.2. This seems to be the only thing that does not work.
Thanks, wmeler

I have a few problems. Getting #1 below to work would be my top priority, because I want to be able to rip my CDs into MP3 format very easily. (I could not get abcde to work, and I would much prefer to use konqueror directly.)
1) I am using KDE 3.2.2. I cannot get Audio CD Browser working. I installed the latest kdeaddons3-sound.rpm, kdemultimedia3-extra.rpm, kdemultimedia3-sound.rpm, and kdemultimedia3-video.rpm files today from the SuSE download site if this matters.
2) Regarding my CD-ROM, k3b v0.11 can copy a data CD just fine, but cannot copy an audio CD. It complains about not being able to open /dev/sr0 (but reads just fine from sr0 when worrying about a data file). I cannot mound an audio CD, but can mount a data CD.
I managed to read an audio CD successfully using xcdroast, but would prefer to use k3b for everything if I can get it working.
If I do an "eject sr0" it ejects a CD-ROM just fine.
3) I also have a CD-RW that can do things like burn mp3s from k3b. However, it cannot mount even a simple audio CD from KDE. I think maybe my setup has been a bit mangled by k3b_setup. As root, f I do an "eject /dev/hdc" it says "eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument"

Hi.
First off, you don't mount audio cd's. You just stick them in and play them, so it is normal that you can't mount an audio cd.
Second, the error you get when you eject a cd is likely because a process still has control of the cdrom. You can only eject devices that aren't in use. This happened to me last month, and it took me awhile to debug it.
Konqi has a habit of holding on the cdroms even after you are done with it, so as far as eject is concerned, it is still being used. KDE also has some problems with dead kio_auio slaves being left around. There are already bug reports for these, but please feel free to go vote for them. :-)
I have attached two scripts to solve the eject problem. Install instructions are inside each script.
As far as copying audio cd's goes, I haven't tried it, but you generally need to use ripping software (gRip?). Also, FWIW, on KDE cvs-digest, K3B seems to have some problems with faulty cdroms when it comes to audio cd's.
Hope this helps.
Mark
