	*Update:* It seems that the version installed by Gentoo portage was a 
little on the broken side.  After executing:

# emerge -f kdemultimedia
# tar -xjvf /home/portage/distfiles/kdemultimedia-3.3.1.tar.bz2
# cd kdemultimedia-3.3.1
# ./configure --with-paranoia --with-lame --with-vorbis
# make -C libkcddb
# make -C kioslave all install

	and creating a link from /dev/sr1 (DVD reader) to /dev/cdrom, 
everything Just Worked.  I also had an 1D10T error with the amplifier -- 
that is, it appeared to work, but no sound -- the amp was switched off, 
but those problems sorted, it seems this system will do just about 
everything I need.

	However, having fiddled with it after a while, I'd say there's still 
work to be done.  This method is almost certainly better than what I 
invisaged, however for the needs of this application, I need to be able 
to play any arbitary track almost instantaneously.

	At the moment, there's a delay whilst the file is ripped to $HOME -- of 
course, once it is present, it can be played even during the ripping 
process.  Unfortunately the delay for the system to get around to the 
desired track is going to be a real problem.

	Is it possible for the system to stream the audio off the CD directly 
rather than buffering it to disk?
