Hello,

It's hard to know if this is a recent problem or if I've just forgotten 
how to do this. Playing audio CDs used to be as simple as ...

$ cdplay -f cd0 play

... and other apps like kscd would work as long as we set the correct 
device and had read access to /dev/rcd0d.

For some reason I'm getting no output from either of these applications. 
I haven't been able to find anything at Google or the Archives.

The permissions are correct.
I can "cat <somefile> /dev/audio" and hear the device respond.
The mixer has the master volume turned up and the inputs are un-muted.
When playing CDs I see the light on the player running, but no sound.
The applications think the cd is being played just fine.

This happens in kde/kscd and with cdplay on the console.

I'm running NetBSD 2.0C (ASTER) #0: Fri Apr 9 20:16:39 EDT 2004.

"ASTER" is very similar to GENERIC...

Am I just missing something simple?
