Re: CDROM will not play a music cd.

Firstly, *thank you* to all who chimed in with analysis and 
suggestions! This list is the best. I will present an update on 
my efforts and a bit more data.

Update: I think it was Nicholas last night who mentioned the 
'cdda://' type of URL. Today I noticed on mplayer's man page 
this line:

  mplayer [cdda|cddb]://track[-endtrack][:speed][/device] 
[options]

I first tried 'mplayer cdda:///dev/cdrom' but apparently I did 
not grasp the syntax of the suggested "[/device]", above:

--start snip--
Playing cdda:///dev/cdrom.
++ WARN: Can't get file status for dev/cdrom:
No such file or directory
++ WARN: could not retrieve file info for `dev/cdrom': No such 
file or directory
++ WARN: can't open nrg image file dev/cdrom for reading
Can't open CDDA device.
Failed to open cdda:///dev/cdrom.
--stop snip--

Then I tried 'mplayer cdda:// /dev/cdrom' and Mudville began to 
experience some joy: Here comes the data.

--start-snip--
MPlayer2 2.0-728-g2c378c7-4+b1 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team

--stop-snip--

I am listening to music; God is good.

The playback is jumpy, or skippy, anything but smooth and 
continuous. My spidey sense tells me this might be a 
configuration matter. That "2 bytes per sample," above, looks 
suspicious. Any thoughts on remediation of this defect, 
gentlemen?

Thanks,
