512 Part IV . Running Applications . /dev/dsp, /dev/dsp1 Digital sampling devices, which many audio applications identify to access your sound card. Under Udev, these devices are symbolic links to /dev/sound/dsp and /dev/sound/dsp1, respectively. . /dev/mixer, /dev/mixer1 Sound-mixing devices. Under Udev, these devices are symbolic links to /dev/sound/mixer and /dev/sound/mixer1, respectively. . /dev/sequencer Provides a low-level interface to MIDI, FM, and GUS. Under Udev, these devices are symbolic links to /dev/sound/sequencer and /dev/sound/sequencer1, respectively. . /dev/midi00 Provides raw access to MIDI ports. Under Udev, raw access to MIDI ports is handled by symbolic links to device-special files in /dev/snd named midiC[D0-9]. For example, /dev/midi00 would be a symbolic link to /dev/midiCD0. For general information about sound in Linux, see the Sound-HOWTO (for tips about sound cards and general sound issues) and the Sound-Playing-HOWTO (for tips on software for playing different types of audio files). You can find Linux HOWTOs at www.tldp.org. Choosing an Audio CD Player The GNOME CD player (gnome-cd) is the default CD player for GNOME desktop systems. In fact, if the HAL daemon (hald) is enabled, as it is with Fedora systems, gnome-cd pops up automatically on the GNOME desktop when you insert a CD. It has standard play buttons and lets you get track information automatically from a CD database, such as freedb.org. (If your CD isn t listed in the database, you can enter your own track information manually.) However, a variety of CD players come with Linux distributions or may be downloaded and installed. Here is a cross-section of your other choices for playing CDs with Linux: . Rhythmbox (rhythmbox) Import and manage your CD collection with Rhythmbox music management and playback software for GNOME. It uses GStreamer on the audio backend and compresses music using Ogg Vorbis audio format. In addition to enabling you to create playlists of your music library, Rhythmbox also has features for playing Internet radio stations. . KsCD player (kscd) The KsCD player comes with the KDE desktop. To use it, the kdemultimedia package must be installed. From the main menu on the KDE desktop, select Multimedia.KsCD (or type kscd in a Terminal window). Like gnome-cd, this player lets you get title, track, and artist information from the CD database. KsCD, however, also lets you submit information to a CD database (if your CD isn t found there).
