I checked in the audio CD kioslave at kdebase/kioslave/audiocd.
You need cdparanoia installed for this to work.
Two of the parameters are useful currently:
device=xxx -> Specify actual CD device.
paranoia_level=n -> Specify amount of error-correction performed.
Valid values are:
0 -> No error correction at all.
1 -> Try to correct errors.
2 -> As above, but never skip (the default.)
Examples:
kfmclient openURL audiocd:/
-> Autodetects audio CDROM and opens a konqy window with tracks named
trackNN.wav (where NN is 00->99)
kfmclient openURL audiocd:/?device=/dev/sdb
-> Same as above, except only /dev/sdb is queried for an audio CD.
kfmclient copy audiocd:/track01.wav /tmp/ripped-01.wav
-> Digitally copy the first track from the audio CD (drive autodetected.)
Performs full error correction.
kfmclient copy audiocd:/track01.wav?device=/dev/hdc¶noia_level=0 /tmp
-> Digitally copy the first track from the audio CD in /dev/hdc. No error
correction is performed. This should be fast enough for streaming, but
beware: Direct digital reading may make apparent more artefacts than
reading via CD analogue output -> sound card.
If your CD drive is perfect and your audio CDs have no scratches, then
you have a very expensive CDROM drive and you're unnaturally careful
with your CDs. For us mere mortals, if you want to play from CD, use
kscd. If you want to rip, use a paranoia level > 0 and don't expect
realtime output.
Now, if anyone tells you KDE is crap, open a konqy window at audiocd:/,
drag-select all the icons and drop them on your hard disk. Error-corrected
ripping to wav files. Now what we need is to see a KDE CD ripper + vorbis *
encoder that works with this.
Those who read code may notice that there are two more parameters, use_cddb
and cddb_server. Anyone up for writing support ? IMO there should be a
kcontrol module where you can set up your cddb server, because using kscd's
config file means you need kdemultimedia installed.
I would write the cddb support, but I'm going to the pub instead.
