Audacious can't play Audio CD

I don't see something like "Play audio CD" in Audacious...

$ audacious /dev/cdrom
...
Unable to read from file:////dev/cdrom, giving up.

Information on official site tells that it can play it.

Menu "Add" contents only 2 items:
- Add internet address
- Add files

Packages version:
audacious-player 1.4.0-1
audacious-plugins 1.4.0-2

Something strange... Anybody knows WTF?

P.S. Xine (xine-ui) successfully plays Audio CDs!

Hm... I might need to rebuild it then.  If you want to try rebuilding audacious-plugins yourself and see if it helps, that would be cool, but I'll see what's going on tonight.

Re: Audacious can't play Audio CD

Yes, missed dependence, libcdio.

makepkg shows this before compilation

Configuration:
  Input Plugins
  -------------
  CD Digital Audio (cdaudio_ng):          no

I install libcdio, then do makepkg -f.

Configuration:
  Input Plugins
  -------------
  CD Digital Audio (cdaudio_ng):          yes

Now i can play Audio CD via Main menu (right click) > Plugin Services > Add CD.

I think that this is not logically to play Audio CD's by this way... Is it possible to move this functionality to Add menu (in playlist)?

Re: Audacious can't play Audio CD

I won't be making an upstream change to Audacious like that - if you want that option moved to a 'smarter' place, make a report on Audacious' site.

I'll get audacious-plugins properly rebuilt in the repos tonight.
