I'm seing something very wierd with audio CD's and a linux box. All the programs I use to play them (playcd, workbone really) show tracks 1-8 fine, then track nine is negative (total len of tracks 1-8) track 10-14 are all 0 length, then track 15 is the real length of track 15 + total len of tracks 1-8) (Yes, it's ugly.)
For instance: (all tracks 61 seconds long) 1: 1:01 2: 1:01 3: 1:01 .... 7: 1:01 8: 1:01 9: -8:-8 10: 0:00 11: 0:00 ... 14: 0:00 15: 9:09 16: 1:01
(Track 15 appears to be real track nine, all of them are offset)
This showed up in kernels 1.3.70 something and 2.0.0. Is this a form of copy protection on the CD's? If it was one, I'd be suspicious, but all of theme seem to have the same results. Very strange. Anyway, it's a scsi quad speed CD, and I can poke around it with whatever if someone has any ideas. I could probably hack the driver to cut tracks 9-15 but I'd prefer know what happened. Unless the kernel interface has changed perhaps? I couldn't get workman to compile when I recompiled playcd it still showed 25 tracks on a 19 track cd. (same timing problems as well) Hey, I like track nine on some of my CD's! So how can I get to play it?
(Any poking required, lemme know and I'll poke.)
