More tests; apparently something (workman/driver) is broken in a strange way:
workman (workman -b -c /dev/rwcd0c) comes in some strange status. With the button set
to "normal" does not play (it recognizes CD in the player) , after clicking start
LED blinks for a few seconds then nothing happens. After switching to shuffle it does
work and everything seems to be OK except it won't play the last track. When clicked
to the last track it shows some weird timing (negative) and does not play. It does not
matter how many tracks are there, the last does not play.
Does wcd/atapi CD-ROM works for somebody with 2.2-RELEASE?
