I just recently got a supported sound card for my GNU/Linux box
(Creative Soundblaster 16 PCI).  It's nice to be able to listen to my
ogg files, but I can't get the dvdrom drive to play audio cds.  Or dvds
for that matter.  It works fine as a data drive, but when I try to play
a cd (with xmms, for example, or grip) it gives me an "Unable to read
Table of Contents" error.

Xmms is looking at /dev/cdrom, which is a link to /dev/hdc.  The
permissions on hdc are brw-rw-r--.  (I also tried with write and
executable access for everyone - same error).  It is a Toshiba SD-M1202
ATAPI DVD-ROM.  I double checked that the cable is connected correctly
from the drive to the soundcard (even though this problem does not
really seem like a disconnected cable).

I'm at a loss here.  Could the driver not support cd audio for this
drive?  I'm running kernel 2.4.20 (it's a Debian sid machine).

Any ideas?
