Re: [gentoo-user] Playing Audio and DVD cds!!!

[Christopher E]

Hello Daniel,

It now plays in all three players, the mplayer its self play very slow
and gives issues so I am geting rid of it as it also IS not
accessibile and if there is any one out there that is using it with a
screenreader please come forth.

So far xine plays both audio and dvds fine it appears.

I can not get the totem to play audio cds or play with out being flaky
please see totem posting.

By the way I emerged latest versions of gst-plugins-base and that is
what seems to get them to work to the degree it is.

Now how do I get xine to play the stuff automatic I guess I will push
my luck LOL?

Thanks for your help!

Sincerely,
Christopher
