XMMS can play sound digitally, without the need for the analogue cable between the CD drive and the soundcard. Open XMMS -> right click for a menu -> Preferences -> Audio I/O Plugins -> CD Audio Player 1.2.10 [libcdaudio.so] -> Configure -> Play mode: Digital Audio Extraction. Hope this helps, James. -- James Wilkinson | "Land Rover say it is permanent, I say I have a Exeter Devon UK | large selection of spanners and a big hammer..."
