[CLUE-Tech] CDROM audio problems

[Kevin Cullis]

Hi Match,

No it's not. I went to KDE and got the CD to be access via CDROM player
and found that I had the wrong connection selected on my sound card for
the CDROM. It played via KDE, but it won't on GNOME except via kscd
player for KDE.  I would gather that some type of configuration file is
hosed.
