 This machine was purchased in 6/2008, so about 3.5 years old.
 
 The optical drive is
 
 cd0 at atapibus0 drive 0: <HL-DT-STDVD-RAM GSA-H60N, M0084E11213,
 CX04> cdrom removable
 
 Your conjecture (about lack of hardware support for analog playback)
 sounds right. If so, cdplay ought to detect it, if that's possible,
 and select the correct mode itself. Or, at the very least, some better
 explanation in the man page that would help the user, who typically
 knows nothing of analog vs. digital transfer modes, to make the right
 choice himself. Or something more explicit in the error message than
 complaining about the IOCTL argument, e.g., "If you get this error,
 try enabling 'digital' transfer mode".
 
 Thanks for your help.
