Yeah, for whatever reason... that got missed when KDE was initially 
installed. -- This was by far much quicker than rebuilding 
kdemultimedia. :-)

Okay, this is what I did.

* Fired up noatun
* Opened the playlist dialogue
* Clicked Add files
* Typed 'audiocd:/' as the URL up the top
* Selected the relevant .wav files shown

I presume that's via the ioslave?
