I was without an audio card in Linux for many months, so I > just couldn't say. a quick check on the alsaplayer-devel list indicates that the cdda plugin may have changed from reading the disk as one track to reading separate tracks, perhaps in Dec02. i dont like playing from optical disks, but i get the same thing with ogg and flac files also.
