Playing a CD

[D629497]

It should work with MPD since it's not holding an exclusive lock on the media player. However, I wonder if this is because the user you're logged in to don't have access rights to the CD drive.

Try something like the following:

Code:

sudo mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=1.0 cdda://

Did that work? Also, I'd check the command line syntax later, but you're sure it's 'hw=1.0', and not  'hw=1,0'?  

Thanks. I tried using sudo but I still get a failed to initiale device error. The syntax is correct though. I tried stopping the server and client but it made no difference.
