Is there anyone out there who has installed FreeBSD on the above Sony

Both ''cat filename > /dev/dsp0.0'' or ''vlc cdda:///dev/acd0@1 are OK.

If I run ''cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play'', there is no sound.
But the output of ''cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 status audio'' is alright.
(same behaviour for cd0 instead of acd0)

And the output of ''mplayer cdda://1//dev/acd0'' is:
Playing cdda://1//dev/acd0.
++ WARN: open: Inappropriate ioctl for device
**ERROR: fread (): Invalid argument

On the other hand, DVD's play fine, for example with
either ''vlc dvd:///dev/acd0@2'' or ''mplayer dvd://2''

I wonder whether the problem is related to the FAILURE line in dmesg:
acd0: DVDR <MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-852S/1.01> at ata0-master UDMA33
acd0: FAILURE - INQUIRY ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x24 ascq=0x00
acd0: FAILURE - INQUIRY ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x24 ascq=0x00
cd0 at ata0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
cd0: <MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-852S 1.01> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device
cd0: 33.000MB/s transfers
cd0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present

Adding ''device atapicam'' in the kernel doesn't make a difference.

I found some messages concerning the FAILURE line in the mailing list
archives, but no solution.

Same result on my notebook (HP nx6320) and this is not a surprise. The
"mixer" command does not show a "cd" input, meaning that there is no
input port for the analog audio output of the CD drive (if any). The
"status audio" arguments instructs cdcontrol to inquire the drive, not
the audio device.

NetBSD's "cdplay" supports digital transfer mode since version 4.0.
Perhaps this feature could be implemented on cdcontrol.
