Hello, all.

I'm trying to play audio CDs and getting nothing.  It seems that
my motherboard doesn't have an input socket for the CD (DVD) player's
analog output - I guess that the manufacturer (HP) assumed that
everyone would use digital audio.  So I'm trying to use digital
audio, but...

My version of kscd doesn't have a "Use direct digital playback"
checkbox in its configuration tab, despite one being shown in the
online documentation for kscd.  It looks as though digital playback
is offered only if kdemultimedia3's "configure" defines BUILD_CDDA,
which in turn happens only if $libwm_with_cdda is "yes", which appears
to be possible only for Linux hosts.

Is this something we can fix, and/or is there some other program I can
use to play CDs by reading the digital data directly (short of
explicitly ripping the CD and feeding the files to audioplay)?

In case it matters:
  NetBSD version: 3.0
  port: amd64
  kdemultimedia3 version: 3.5.0nb2
  kscd version: 1.6
  hardware: HP Pavilion a1130n based on Athlon64


Anne.
