	i hope i'm not stealing this thread but here goes.

	i can no longer get my freebsd to play my cd's.
	audio-cd.  k3b does regonize it in my second optical.  i am
	trying to transfer it from cd to ~/Music.  [[and no, i didn't
	steal this disc.  i own tape and cd and just want to transfer
	it in Ogg-Vorbis fmt and listen to it here where i live for
	17hrs/day.

	i've tried to play it with kmplayer, with amaroK.  zip.  i've
	tried sound-juice and get the fatal error that there are no 
	CD-ROM drives.  a few releases ago i used sound-juicer to
	transfer [and play] tunes.  no mo'.

	roland, some weeks ago i remember you mentions that your
	/etc/devfd.conf needed tweaking.  i'm wondering if it might
	be this.  meanwhile, i'll play around with audacious* and see
	if i get any further clues.

	gary

	ps:  if there is a new utility to play audio cd's running
	7.3, i haven't heard!
