Odd. cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0c appears to work, but no sound comes when I
play. I can get info on the CD, and it is giving correct info. I do have
another drive I can dig up, but I think it's crappier than the one currently
in my machine. Any other ideas? I have no idea why my sound is mute on the
CD, but other sound sources *do* work (XMMS w/ mp3 files, RealPlayer).
