I'm using NetBSD-current. I hacked workman to use just about every
form of mcd device I could dig up, and I still couldn't get it to play
audio cd's. I always get things like this:
[michaelv@MindBender]~> xcdplayer -device /dev/rmcd0a
ioctl(cdromreadtocentry): Invalid argument
ioctl(cdromreadtocentry): Invalid argument
[michaelv@MindBender]~> xcdplayer -device /dev/rmcd0d
ioctl(cdromreadtocentry): Invalid argument
ioctl(cdromreadtocentry): Invalid argument
[michaelv@MindBender]~> workman -c /dev/rmcd0a
CD track info read: Invalid argument
CD track info read: Invalid argument
[michaelv@MindBender]~> workman -c /dev/rmcd0d
CD track info read: Invalid argument
CD track info read: Invalid argument
Same results for both of those on the non-raw devices. What device am
I supposed to be using? Is there anything special I'm supposed to do
to get the programs to understand the mcd driver? I'm using the
versions of these programs that were ported to FreeBSD-current, with
minor modifications to get them to compile on NetBSD-current.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
