  Now, that I have built the latest kernel with sound support, I
wanted to test it out to see how well I can play a CD.

  I tried running cdplay and that just core dumps.

  I tried running play and that responded with:
play: /dev/audio: no such device
even though, ls -l /dev/audio showed that existed although its
permissions were strange:  crw-rw--w-, owned by root, group sys.

  Are there any better CD players available as rpm? Or will the
above programs work by modifying /dev/audio correctly?

  Is tgere an automated way to search the descriptions of all
uninstalled rpms for a keyword such as 'player'?

                                          Thanks in advance:
                                           Michael J. Yanowitz
