not sure if it's just the svcd tested with, but mplayer can't play it. I tried putting some more codecs into /usr/lib/win32 but this seemed to make no difference. Any ideas for how to play svcd? I haven't tried xine yet.
i think cdfs should solve this problem. with the current kernel of gentoox you cant mount audio-cds, because there is no support for the file-type of such a cd.
mounting the disk is not the problem, sorry if I did not make that clear. The issue is with PLAYing the media file (mpg, dat, etc). Mplayer is not able to do it.
