On my f10, gnome system,   with rpmfusion,

rythmbox plays cd 1 track compleley, then fails halfway through track 2
nothing else out of total 14 tracks.
And a lot of skips on what it does play

kcsd couldnt get started at all
I have previously used this same cdplayer on fc5,  kcsd there worked perfectly

amarok also failed to start

vlc ( i think) does play an internet radio stream, but again lots of skips

BUT,
that command line works perfeclty playing the cd !   no skips!

fwiw, here is entire response
