   I just discovered that I can't play a music cd on my Slackware 15.0   
   install.   
      
   Previously I routinely used:   
      
      enoch% cdp play 1   
      
   which prints   
      
        cdp : audio CD player by saby@balu.sch.bme.hu   
        Playing tracks 1-10...   
      
   but then exits silently without doing anything else.   
      
      enoch% mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/cdrom cdda://1   
      
   plays but stops evey ca. 15 seconds to say   
      
      [AO_ALSA] Write error: Broken pipe   
      [AO_ALSA] Trying to reset soundcard.   
      
   "Apropos audio" gives me a vast array of programs to manipulate audio   
   files and streams, change codecs, modify effects etc. etc. none of   
   which I want to do.   
      
   All I want to do is play the music CD.  How do I do that now?
