[ale] reading an audio cd

[Dow Hurst]

Since the cdrom file system is cdda, you don't see the root directory 
properly by using that command in Konqueror.  I believe if you pointed 
Konqueror to audiocd:/cdrom or audiocd:/media/cdrom you might get more 
juice.

Sometimes you have two other issues:
Programs for playing CDs don't want the CD filesystem mounted.  Since 
Konqerors default behavior is to automatically start converting the wav 
files to ogg files, I don't know if the CD is mounted or not.  sorry 
about that.

Also, you might need to have your CD recognized as a regular IDE device 
instead of as a SCSI device.  I've still not got the straight skinny on 
why some programs work well with one type and not the other.  you can 
always try both devices with any program and test the behavior.
