For one thing, your user-id, or a group you belong to needs to have read/wr= ite access to the relevant CD device. My solution is to create a group called 'cdrom', and add my user-id to that group. Both is accomplished with pw(8).= I have the following in my /etc/devfs.conf: # Give members of group cdrom access to the CD/DVD-ROM and DVD+RW via t= he # SCSI interface own xpt0 root:cdrom perm xpt0 0660 own cd0 root:cdrom perm cd0 0660 own cd1 root:cdrom perm cd1 0660 link cd1 cdrom link cd1 dvd Since my user-id is a member of the cdrom group, I can use these devices freely.=20 If you are using the standard 'atapicd' driver instead of the SCSI emulation 'cd' driver your CD device might be acdX instead of cdX. I prefer to use the SCSI emulation, since cdrecord (which is required by k3b, I think) likes talking to SCSI devices, but not ATA. I've built a custom kernel that only = has the cd device and not atapicd, so there cannot be a conflict between the two. I don't know what happens on a GENERIC kernel that has both devices. Maybe there is a tunable that determines which device driver gets access? To produce sound you need to to load the appropriate sound driver. See sound(4). Additionally, I like to start a sound server like esd (audio/esou= nd port). Audacious can use that for output.
