I have the same problems with eject and volume control as well.
Someone else posted that Workman (an xview CD audio player) has been ported to
BSD/386, and there are diffs on bsdi.com (for version 4.0.1beta). Anybody know
where I can get Workman version 4.0.1beta source, or a patched version that runs
under FreeBSD? I couldn't find v4.0.1 with archie.
I'm afraid with the current version of the CD/SCSI driver for
FreeBSD1.0 this still is impossible (nevertheless--I'm deeply thankful
to all those people who made 386/Net/FreeBSD possible [with all its
{minor} flaws it's still a GREAT system] thanks folks :) ). I peeked
into cd.c: CDIOCEJECT and CDIOCSTOP are the same.
I fiddled a bit with the cdio audio interface on my own and discovered
that as soon as I open /dev/rcd0d the media (say CD) is locked! So I
think no eject available. However if I close /dev/rcd0d I can manually
eject it with the eject button. Concerning the volume control I
believe my cdrom drive does simply not support this feature. :)
