(using freeBSD4.1)

Hi.  I just got this Yamaha CDR.  It seemed fairly well supported from
what I could see on the web and it was in stock at circuit city
(though it called itself Pacific digital on the box-- I don't know
why).

Burning (with cdrecord) works good at the full 8x speed (occassionally
a startup check of the CDR produces a nonfatal message, but it always
rechecks and succeeds).

Playback is a little weird.  Depending on whether I am using xmcd or
cdplay, some random non-fatal messages pop up about sub channels (I'd
cut and paste, but I am at work now, not at home).  Also, cdplay
doesn't play the last track (seems to think it is 0 length or
something) while xmcd does, but xmcd doesn't tic seconds by during
play while cdplay does.  Am I expecting too much?

Anyhow, I certainly did a lot of guessing when configuring, so
if there is someone out there with this CDR who has it working gloriously
without so much as a peep (or perhaps using a different player program),
could you send me some configuration hints?
