# mplayer --noconfig=all --ao=alsa cdda://
                         ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑
should deal with that.

Without that parameter, I (mplayer2) get an extra line of output:

AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 1411.2 kbit/100.00% (ratio: 176400->176400)
AO: [pulse] Init failed: Connection refused ←--------
AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)

As someone whose use and knowledge of anything other than vlc is
minimal I did this on unstable and got

 Unknown option on command line: --noconfig=all
 Error parsing option on the command line: --noconfig=all

How relevant is this statement to the issue?

  Package: mplayer2 (3:0.23.0-2) 
  transitional dummy package for mpv

  This is a transitional dummy package to get upgrading systems to
  install the mpv package. It can safely be removed once no other
  package depends on it.

Once Thomas Schmitt had disposed of the idea that mplayer requires a
cable between drive and sound card it comes down to software and not
hardware.

(I use cdplay from the cdtool package quite extensively, especially in
scripts. If the OP had been using cdtool, Curt's cable suggestion would
have very likely been correct as cdtool uses the analogue play method).

I installed mplayer on a machine (which has pulseaudio) yesterday. There
was no problem with playing an audio CD, but I did not go in for any
customisation, which is probably not the case with Rodolfo Medina.

To be exacting, i only doubted the idea. It got disposed by the report
that a normal user (the desktop starting user ?) can have success.

The hardware is at least not yet proven to be faulty. I am not really
aware whether it was reported that one of the successful CD play attempts
was acoustically flawless. (E.g. by pure Grunge with all its fine nuances.)

Did you try as superuser ?

I have the gutt feeling that user "root" is slowly being moved into
the role of the man who once was indispensible but now is just an
old fart whom the young agile people don't trust to do anything useful.

Curt noticed this message in the original message:
>  XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/1000) is not owned by us (uid 0), but by

So if the software means that the superuser is not welcome, then this
should be discussed with the software's Debian maintainer or its upstream
developers.

The other messages in the original post
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/06/msg01215.html
look like software or system management problems, too.
(But hey, i am no expert with software that causes flamewars whenever
 its name gets mentioned.)

It has been deprecated by MMC-5, which is the first MMC version mentioning
Blu-ray drives. So one could assume that BD drives would not support the
PLAY AUDIO command. Nevertheless, my newest two BD drives announce its
availability by feature 103h. Only my good old LG GGW-H20 does not offer it.
I assume the ASUS and the Optiarc burner have an audio socket at their
backside. The last one i had with front earphone socket was a Lite-On CD
burner from 2003.


Have a nice day :)

I don't know. Actually I'm using
MPlayer2 2.0-728-g2c378c7-4+b1 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team
which is a real package.

But the thrust of my post was two-fold: (1) get configuration
files out of the way, and (2) get pulseaudio out of the way.
I'm assuming people can handle reading the man page to adjust
the command line arguments (eg my long options _require_ --ao
and --noconfig to parse correctly; the OP seems to get away
with one hyphen).

Were I using stretch mplayer, I would have posted yesterday,
but the thread seemed to have wandered up blind alleys (group
membership, device aliases, etc) without addressing the error
messages posted (missing sound device files, alsa/sdl errors).

Yes, I've used cdplay on occasions, and it's a lot quieter than
cdda because the disc so slowly comparatively, though I always
use eject rather than cdeject as the latter has given me problems.

Of course, with a laptop, you're at the mercy of the constructor
as to whether the analogue link exists.

Linux sound is complex enough that, once things work well enough,
I prefer not to disturb them, which is why I beg your forbearance.

Hi,

Michael Fothergill quoted:

That's the traditional and well justified defamation of german soccer
club FC Bayern Muenchen.

We shall not forget to mention the profound analysis by Die Toten Hosen:

  What parents does one need to have
  to be so rotten
  to sign a contract
  with that [beep] club ?

Hey. Since when does it need the presence of a Bayern fan to start

Yes, the error message remains also with sound files, so it actually does not
concern cdda:

Yes: it solved half a problem...  or maybe one since they were two... Thanks to

in it), mplayer's finally plays as root, but its output is:

The message (from pulseaudio, I think) is valid. su has been used to
gain root so $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is inherited from the user's shell.
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR should be specific for each user, not shared.

 export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=""

can be run before mplayer to not see it.

No, neither

 XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/0 mplayer ... ?

nor

 export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=""

did help...

Well I'm still reading that "pulseaudio in normal user mode will allow
only the active session as marked by ConsoleKit to access the audio
hardware." 

So it would seem that you'd have to run pulseaudio as a system-wide
instance for this to work (sound for your regular user and root through
pulseaudio, configured by each with pavucontrol).

Help with what? export.... is only intended to make the variable empty
so that the message above does not appear after a su to root. It does
not turn a non-working audio into a working one.

Your original problem (no CD audio as a user) has been solved. No audio
as root is an interesting problem but hardly critical. I have no issue
with audio as a user or as root when playing a CD. Reviewing any tweaks
you have made to the system is advised.

Oh, ok, ripping good.

How about giving it the full path:

 mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/media/cdrom cdda://1
 mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/hdb cdda://1

or wherever the device exists on your machine.

Also perhaps verify in a mixer program (alsamixer, e.g.) that cdrom audio output
isn't muted.

Maybe there's no audio cable between the cd drive and the sound card. 

;-)

Moin together,

having only recently succeded in running a movie DVD and a music CD using
mplayer via smplayer under Debian Jenny on my laptop "hp 6730b", I found
that my pulseaudio sound system needs to be activated BEFORE other
processes using sound are started.

[using 'ps ax', one can study the mplayer params set by smplayer]


In order to be able to refresh my sound system at any time, even after
processes using sound are already active, I'm using a simple alias
(from within a terminal):

alias pulse='sudo kill -9 $(pidof pulseaudio) && alsamixer -c0'


hope this may help a bit

man pkill, and stop using -9
