[newbie] Digital Playback

2001-09-02 Thread Richie d 


I'm looking for a way to play audio CDs by reading the data directly from a 
CD.  Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work:

cdparanoia 1 /dev/dsp

..I've tried several variations on this but all I get is alot of hissing from 
my speakers.

Actually, OE talks to Hotmail using HTTPMail.  I looked into this about six 
months ago.  I saw some source for Linux on Souceforge, it was a version 0.1. 
 Microsoft purports that it's a legit mail protocol, yet they have never 
released any specs for it!
