I noticed that the FC4 Gnome CD player appears to read audio via IDE and actively write it to the sound interface without needing a CD audio jumper to the sound inputs. If I ctl-Z the player program and suspend it, the sound stops. Older CD players need the audio jumper, and the audio keeps going even when the player is suspended. Actually, I looking for a replacement for the old xmcd. A key requirement is the ability to program audio tracks in sequence and get the timings (total/elapsed/remaining), since I plan radio airplay lists. The only CD player program I've seen that does it on Linux is xmcd. So why not stick with xmcd? Unfortunately, the newer revs of xmcd don't deal with the classic CDDB file format, and I have a lot of custom CDs with their track info in the classic CDDB format; I can enter the track info fastest by editing classic CDDB directly in vi. The other problem is that I can't get FC + old xmcd to correctly display CDDB info with Latin-8 or UTF-8 characters.
