[linux-audio-user] audio cdrom permissions

i've been having a bit of trouble with playing and ripping CDs, maybe 
someone here can help?

i'm running Debian on a laptop, and as root i don't have any serious 
problems doing either, but as a user it becomes a bit wierd... let me 
explain...

as user, i am in groups cdrom and disk. i have set permissions as follows:

in /dev:
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           13 May 18 17:31 cdrom -> 
cdroms/cdrom0
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Jan  1  1970 cdroms

in /dev/cdroms
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           34 Jan  1  1970 cdrom0 -> 
../scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd

in /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/
brw-rw-rw-    1 root     cdrom     11,   0 Jan  1  1970 cd

i have none of these other cdrom devices listed in /dev:
/dev/hdc
/dev/sr0
/dec/scd0
but my drive appears to be ATAPI with SCSI emulation. i have added the 
following to my /etc/lilo.conf to reflect this:
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
although commenting this out doesn't seem to do much.

i can rip CDs as a user with Grip, but RipperX tells me i need 
permission to access the CD drive [cannot open cdrom drive]. i can play 
CD audio with Alsaplayer, but not with XMMS.  likewise, xfreecd doesn't 
find the drive, but workman does. very inconsistant! running cdparanoia 
-vQ as user gives the following:

Checking /dev/cdrom for cdrom...
    Testing /dev/cdrom for cooked ioctl() interface
        /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd is not a cooked ioctl CDROM.
    Testing /dev/cdrom for SCSI interface
        No generic SCSI device found to match CDROM device 
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd

it seems that there are still some permissions to change somewhere, but 
i can't for the life of me figure out where!

what have i missed?

thanks,
derek
