I'm trying to port alsaplayer (http://www.alsaplayer.org), and
presently have it working on sound files, but not on CD audio.

The port is at http://rsidd.online.fr/alsaplayer.tar.bz2

The cdda input plugin requires <linux/cdrom.h> which, of course, we
don't have.  I don't know anything about how to deal with this: any
pointers/help?

The program has some nice features, in particular pitch control -- you
can even play audio backwards.  Also, it plays CDs (on linux) by
ripping them and then playing through the regular dsp device, which is
unconventional but I have selfish reasons for liking that: my internal
soundcard is broken and I can only play CDs by outputting to an
external (USB) sound device, which normal CD player programs can't do.

Thanks
- Rahul
