Verified.  I'm not a KDE user, but I do have it installed...  I fired
up Konqueror, fed it the pseudo-URL "audiocd:/" which was mentioned
earlier in this thread, and was shown a view of the CD which included
the actual CDDA tracks, as well as a series of pseudo-folders which
contain the tracks listed by name (presumably requiring the ability to
connect to a CDDB database), and also MP3 and OGG files.  Pretty neat,
though I'd never actually use it, myself...

It would seem that you have somehow caused your system to become
misconfigured, though I guess you already figured that... =8^)

My first and best guess is that your symlink from /dev/cdrom is
wrong...  Normally one doesn't use /dev/srX -- I've often thought it
was unfortunate that this sort of nomenclature shows up in the kernel
messages...  Most likely (since you said you're on a 2.4 kernel) your
CD was originally configured to use SCSI emulation.  You can try this
command to fix it:

  # ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom

If I'm mistaken, and you're on a 2.6 kernel, then most likely this
command would be better:

  # ln -sf /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom

Note: the '#' represents your system prompt, and signifies you should
run the command as root.  You should not type the '#' character! =8^)
