It's a SATA DVD and there are no headphone jacks on modern internal DVD 
drives.  So there's no audio cable connecting the drive to any sound card or 
header on the motherboard.  So that means there's no ability to transfer 
analog audio, just digital audio, I believe.

I also can't get output from mplayer.  I'll try VLC next.

Also, no devices should up under KDE5 system settings Phonon page.  Is it 
possible I didn't check all the phonon boxes when I built KDE5 from ports?
