That's simple (at least on my system)
The Cd Player most likely has an audio cable going from the back of the
unit to a pinned interface either on the motherboard
or Soundcard. As long as the soundcard actually works you hear the
cd's. It basically the same as
putting a headphone or speaker in the jack in front of the cd player.
The interface cable does the same thing
On my dad's newest machine he doesn't have a seperate output
cable...somehow his motherboard gets the signal through
the ide interface. ( I think... I can't see how else it would do it)
( note this is a really simplified version of what happens) I am sure
someone can
be more technical than me :-)
Mp3's and waves are all output through the /dev/dsp resource, which is
diffrent from
how you hear cd audio
Find out what's using the /dev/dsp resource and that may solve your
problem
Hope this helps
Joe
