Kscd stops playing

[Ryo Furue]

Hi KDE users,

We had the following discussion on kscd a while ago:

| As I understand it Kscd is a traditional cd player application that

Today, I got a kind of confirmation that the problem is likely
NOT related whether or not the player reads the data off the disk
or whether the disk is clean or not.

0) When a music CD is inserted, Kscd automatically plays it. 
   In this case, it stops playing after several minutes
   ( ~ 5 minutes).  Every time.  No exception.  It's perfectly
   repeatable.

1) Then, you press the "Play" button and Kscd starts playing from the
   beginning of the CD.  This time, Kscd plays the CD without stopping
   (at least for 10 minutes).

2) You press the "Eject" button; the CD is ejected.  You press the
   "Eject" button again; the CD is re-inserted.  Then, you are back
   to (0) !

So, there must be something wrong when Kscd plays a CD right after
it's inserted.

Can somebody confirm this phenomenon?

Regards,
Ryo
