Basically, xmcd is a bad hack (since the other systems it is supporting don't offer a better method) that uses something like direct SCSI commands. Try the native tools first, they all use the `official' ioctl interface to play audio. These include the commands `cdplay' (FreeBSD 2.1) and `cdcontrol' (FreeBSD-current). I'm not sure offhand which of them is in 2.1.5. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
