I'm trying to play an audio CD using mplayer. I'm using NetBSD-3.0_RC1.
It doesn't work at all. For instance:
$ mplayer cdda://
Playing cdda://.
Can't open cdda device
Failed to open cdda://
I've tried all sorts of different commands, all with the same result
$ mplayer cdda://1
$ mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/cd0a cdda://
$ mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/rcd0a cdda://
$ mplayer -cdda generic-dev=/dev/cd0a cdda://
you get the idea. The permissions on /dev/cd0a are a+rw. And I have no
problems playing a DVD when a movie is in that drive.
I tried making a symlink /dev/cdrom -> /dev/cd0a, that didn't help.
$ pkg_info |grep mplayer
...
mplayer-1.0rc7nb4 Software-only MPEG-1/2/4 video decoder
Can anyone get this to work? I'm starting to think theres a problem
with NetBSD-3 and cdda.
