I am not real certain what you are trying to say boolim. But you don't mount audio discs, if that is what you are saying. You just play them.

i have no prob to mount data disc on my cdrom.. (so no permission, error with my cdrom)...
but i can't play music cds(i din mount it coz i know we can't mount music cd).... just the cd player in gnome can't play then n even XMMS failed 2..

Sorry, but i've tried my best to explain myself. I'm not an english native speaker..

I have the same problem. I can run kscd but only play music as root. Its obvioulsy a permission problem and I've tried changing the permissions by right clicking on the desktop icon for kscd but I guess I'm changing permissions for the icon??

Any pointers on changing permissions for the application itself?

Cheers

This is what I found out (for my systems). Cd player in gnome uses the audio-cable from cd-player to sound card. gxine by pass this by using the ide interface.

Make sure you have the /dev/[device] setup properly in your gxine. Most of windoze prog uses IDE interface. they don't require the audio cable to be attached.

I had a similar problem, and I struggled with it for nearly a week. (Of course, that may be because I know as much about Linux configuration as I do about Chinese rocket science.)

In XMMS, go to prefeences, and in your input plugin (presumably libcdaudio.so), click on the configure button. Make sure that the directory is pointing to an actual location - in SUSE, you have to switch the setting to /MEDIA/CDROM from MNT/CDROM.

Also, set the play mode to DIGITAL AUDIO EXTRACTION. That was the final step I had to take to fix my settings. Now it is working like a charm.
