Certain calls : that work with "standard" CD-ROMs fail. Someone posted a patch here : recently for the wcd driver that "translates" certain calls into something : the device can handle. I'll see if I can find my copy and either post it : again or mail it to you. Remind me, if I don't get back to you soon : enough. : -- : Conrad Sabatier http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads I installed the patch and re-built the kernel and xcdplayer seems to work well! One problem is still there: there is a regular hiss when a CD is played. It sounds like a record player playing a record with a small scratch. I think the CD drive is a Toshiba. Is the CD drive not being sampled fast enough? Thanks Dave
