I tried them on another PC, and they don't work. Most modern hardwares do not support these packages, I think. @Jonas Stein: Thanks a lot for your diligence. Please, don't remove packages just because you don't have the required hardware. These command-line players require digital-to-analog conversion in the optical disk drive and a cable connection to the sound card, which passes the signal to the line-out. With them, audio CDs can be played as in a hardware CD player, with no involvement of the OS. I regularly use media-sound/cdtool for this, it works just fine. Today's computers rarely have optical drives at all, and newer SATA ODDs in general tend not to have the necessary DAC circuitry, but hardware from 2010 is still perfectly fine and will be for years to come. |
