Interestingly, KsCD works on my Mepis install at work and I think it also runs on 9.3 on the work box although 9.3 is behaving a bit unruly right now and I have to do a little housekeeping to get kdm to stay put. Hopefully I'll be able to accomplish that tomorrow and then see if memory serves me correctly. More tomorrow.
Well, kscd should work on any machine that has a cable connecting the CD/DVD reader to the sound card. CDDA (the problem Joe was investigating) is only needed when you don't have that
Well, no, KsCD doesn't run on the 9.3 partition on the work box after all, but as I said earlier, it works just fine with the 3.3 Mepis distro. All the hardware is the same obviously, so I'm curious as to what's different besides KDE on the two distros. 9.3 is running KDE 3.4 while the 3.3 is running KDE 3.3 The 9.2 version also played sound via KsCD so there has to be something specific with this release. Since I'm relatively unfamiliar with the "guts" of all this, what libraries might be involved. Could this be related to the two different versions of glibc; 2.3.3 for 9.2 and 2.3.4 for 9.3? I believe that the Mepis distro is also running glibc 2.3.3. For what its worth, none of the other shipping audio products such as xmms, amarok, or kaffeine (audio part) play in 9.3 either. -- David C.
