It is supposed to display a graphical load meter of the sound levels of the
CD as it plays. For details, see

You need to run kscd-magic binary as root (gasp!) for it work correctly. Try
suid to root for /usr/bin/kscd-magic if you want it to run correctly.
However, I note that one person I talked to said it can be extremely CPU
intensive and may you may have trouble using /dev/dsp after using it, so
beware.
