Well, no, KsCD doesn't run on the 9.3 partition on the work box after 
all, but as I said earlier, it works just fine with the 3.3 Mepis 
distro. All the hardware is the same obviously, so I'm curious as to 
what's different besides KDE on the two distros. 9.3 is running KDE 3.4 
while the 3.3 is running KDE 3.3  The 9.2 version also played sound via 
KsCD so there has to be something specific with this release.

Since I'm relatively unfamiliar with the "guts" of all this, what 
libraries might be involved. Could this be related to the two different 
versions of glibc; 2.3.3 for 9.2 and 2.3.4 for 9.3?  I believe that the 
Mepis distro is also running glibc 2.3.3.

For what its worth, none of the other shipping audio products such as 
xmms, amarok, or kaffeine (audio part) play in 9.3 either.
