Amarok 2 will play CDs, only the option is hidden under "local media" or
such. Afaics it will only be available when a disc is present.

Xine will also play CDs.

Both Amarok and Xine will play via PCM (ie. software based). If you have the
cable installed you can stream audio in hardware using the command line
utility cdda-player. It shouldn't be too difficult to create menu items in
the Kickoff launcher.

So the whining about KDE 4 can stop now. ;-)

Wrong, audacious plays cd with no problem.

Right you are. Turns out that my Audacious Playlist was at fault. There
was an mp3 file at the top of it that would always play before the CD
tracks. Viewing the Playlist Editor solved the problem.

And it seems some people like to jump to unwarranted conclusions. I
simply asked if I had overlooked something. I didn't write that I'm
confused and don't know what to do now. Also, to liken Slackware users
to Ubuntu users is ridiculous. :)
