I gave up on cdrecord. The status always looks perfect, but no sound coming out (I do have cd entry in mixer section)
Your best bet is to try
mplayer. It need to be compiled with
libcdio (installing stand alone libcdio port wont work). Once installed, the command to play cd:
Code:
mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/x cdda://
x is your optical device, enter it accordingly. Also, check permission for that drive, you may need to become superuser
