[K12OSN] Playing CD's and DVD's on Clients

[Carl Keil]

Thanks for the reply.  Can't the script/program/parameter that allows 
data disks to appear be hacked to allow audio disks as well?   Does 
anyone know where this is controlled from?  It looks like FC5 supports 
this.  I tried the FC5 control panel, but changing the settings had no 
affect on the terminals. 

Most of my audio is already ripped to a server, but I'd actually like to 
be able to listen/rip audio CD's from a thin client to add to the stuff 
that's there.
