Description George Staikos 2003-11-14 04:46:30 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:          Linux

Kscd often doesn't set the "Play" button to "Pause" when playing back.  When pausing, the timer continues to run.  Somehow with enough clicking it's possible to make it sane again, but there is definitely a problem with state somewhere.

There are loads of bugs in this and it's not shippable presently.  I'm not going to open so many reports - it's a waste of time.  Upgrading this to critical to indicate that kscd is not shippable yet.

Hmm, trying to play with digital playback I only get this:
CDROMREADAUDIO: Invalid argument
cddaslave: wmcdda_read failed

but I doubt a not working new feature in kscd can be release critical.

   The point is that the feature should be removed for release.

This is NOT a brandnew feature! I have been using this feature for a while without noticing any problems until it vanished some KDE upgrades ago :-(

How can You call this problem RESOLVED? You may say this is not that critical as users may conect their cdrom to the soundcard (at least if it is an internal drive that has a conector). But as this feature is not a new one this is not resolved.
